The Beginning of Time – The First Photon Split

In this paper, we present the concept of time emerging as a result of the first

photon split. We assume that time is not fundamentally linked to space or an in-

dependent entity, but emerges from the observation of photon state changes. Each

photon split generates a new time step t0, corresponding to the Planck time, while the

photon wavelength ∆x corresponds to the Planck length.

Our considerations show that time is discrete at the microscopic scale, yet forms a

coherent continuum at the macroscopic scale. The photon split defines the direction

of time and naturally determines the speed of light c = ∆x/∆t. Consequences

of this theory include a novel interpretation of quantum uncertainty, measurement

randomness, and fundamental relations between photons, time, and space. We propose

verifying this concept via ultrashort pulse interferometry and single-photon studies

under extreme conditions.
