The Structure of Time & the Emergence of Gravity through Event Flows

Abstract

The traditional treatment of time in physics – as introduced by Einstein in special relativity – rests on a conceptual misclassification, like several other persistent ambiguous views in physics, which also will be highlighted in the following. Time, originally a scalar, has been inaccurately elevated to the status of a geometric dimension through mathematical substitution rather than physical reasoning. This misconception has endured to date despite its failure to explain key physical phenomena such as causal flow, symmetry-related inconsistencies, the structure of spacetime cones, and complex gravitational relationships. Like space, time must be considered a three-directional dimension in its own right. A structured formulation was proposed previously, treating it as an anisotropic entity embedded in a nearly flat spacetime, where also space is not completely orthogonal. This approach not only addresses inconsistencies in the conventional Minkowski interpretation of not interconnected future and past cones, but it offers a richer explanation for event realisation and causal flow. Another essential point is considered in the context of the 3S+3T framework: gravity. It is considered as a force rather than a field causing curvature.
