1. ABSTRACT
This paper proposes the elimination of the concept of "Vacuum" as an empty or abstract space, replacing it with Substance-Time. We demonstrate that TIME is not an abstract background dimension, but a Real Physical Substance, continuous and elastic, possessing quantifiable mechanical properties: Pressure, Density, and Viscosity. All observable physical phenomena (matter, light, forces) are mechanical manifestations of this substance. We introduce the Universal Law of Flow,
T = P / M, as a unifying state equation.
2. STATE PARAMETERS OF SUBSTANCE-TIME
We postulate the existence of a continuous medium under tension, defined by the following mechanical constants:
STATIC PRESSURE
P = 7.1289763 x 10⁴³ Pa
The energy potential of Substance-Time (Universal Background Tension).
MASS DENSITY
rho = 7.9320624 x 10²⁶ kg/m³
The volumetric inertia of Substance-Time, the medium for the propagation of interactions.
DYNAMIC VISCOSITY
eta = 3.8434 Pa.s
The coefficient of internal resistance (causal friction) responsible for the generation of inertial mass.
3. THE UNIFIED LAW OF FLOW: T = P / M
Any dynamic process represents a Temporal Flow (T) — a rate of change — generated by the ratio between Impulse Pressure (P) and the Resistance/Impedance of Matter (M).
Formula: T = P / M
Unification of Laws under the State Equation:
Newtonian Dynamics (a = F / m): Acceleration (T) is the response of applied force pressure (P) against the inertial resistance of the object (M).
Electrodynamics (Ohm's Law: I = V / R): Current (T) is the flow of charge under potential pressure (P), limited by material resistance (M).
Mass-Energy Equivalence E = m x c² Energy (P) represents the pressure of Substance-Time stored within a boundary of resistance (M).
4. DERIVATION OF CONSTANTS FROM SUBSTANCE PROPERTIES
A. The Speed of Light (c):
Represents the velocity of the longitudinal elastic wave within Substance-Time:
c = SquareRoot(P / rho) = 299,792,458 m/s
B. The Gravitational Constant (G):
Gravity is the result of the compensation flow (pressure balancing) generated by the presence of matter vortices within Substance-Time:
G = (3 x pi x c^2) / (16 x rho) = 6.674 x 10^-11 m3/(kg.s2)
.5. THE MECHANICAL ORIGIN OF MASS (THE HIGGS EFFECT)
Mass (M) is the manifestation of the interaction between the geometric structure of a particle and the Viscosity (eta) of Substance-Time.
Light (Waves): These are pure elastic vibrations that do not induce shear rotation; therefore, they do not interact with viscosity (eta = 0 effectively for the wave), resulting in zero rest mass.
Matter (Particles): These are spin vortices (omega) that "grip" Substance-Time. The viscosity of 3.84 Pa.s generates a boundary layer of entrainment, creating inertia (mass) through mechanical friction.
Formula: M = eta x Sigma x omega
(where Sigma represents the effective cross-section of the vortex).
6. CONCLUSION
Physical reality is a manifestation of Substance-Time. We have eliminated the duality between space and time, defining everything as a pressurized substance.
Light = Vibration of Substance-Time.
Matter = Vortex of Substance-Time (stabilized by viscosity).
Gravity = Pressure differential within Substance-Time.
The Universe is a pressurized system, governed by the balance between pushing force and the resistance of form:
T = P / M.
