"time" is...err... gravity?
or is that: 'gravity' is the essence of time?

PS. Yet another - of many perspectives - on a subject which almost
anyone can be an transitory expert at ... if only from the 'waste of' POV.
[...from a previous Vo posting on quantum time]:
What follows is strictly on the QT...

This thesis on quantum time is interesting for this conclusion:
"in quantum mechanics, time plays a role unlike any other observable. We
find that measuring whether an event happened, and measuring when an
event happened are fundamentally different - the two measurements do not
correspond to compatible observables and interfere with each other. The
temporal order of events is also an ambiguous concept in quantum
mechanics. It is not always possible to determine whether one event lies
in the future or past of another event."
... but can the disorientation be coordinated on a massive scale??
If so, the implication is that in LENR ... when a single random, and
extremely low-probability QM tunneling event produces so much energy and
in such a small confined space that "time" itself is forced to be
extended in order that the energy be allowed dissipate, then that forced
slowing-of-time will be balanced by a corresponding speeding-up of time
in the immediate vicinity.
WE are talking sub-nanometer dimensions here.
IOW ... if 24 MeV of energy is dissipated in the preferred blackbody IR
spectrum then there is a cause-and-effect transaction. For convenience
let us say that it is dissipated in discrete quanta of 1 eV (in
actuality it is the median or average mass-energy for blackbody
radiation would be much lower) then "time" as we normally reckon it -
has been slowed down by a factor of 24 million.
In order to "balance the books" as it were, in the local area of this
one event, time must be speeded up by the same degree, which increases
the probability of a second low-probability reaction of the kind which
caused this nascent "chain reaction" to initiate.
And "chain reaction" is the key to understanding. We end up with a
cascade of local events, each stimulating another, in which local time
is bifurcated in two zones - a fast zone (where tunneling occurs
millions of times faster) and a slow zone (where energy is dissipated
millions of times slower).
The result: you guessed it, didn't you?
COLD FUSION...

BTW: the most 'pregnant' quotation of all time (in the sense of
'bursting with meaning')
...not to mention the key to success in marketing the trendy Swiss
timepieces known as the 'Swatch' is:
... **time is what you make of it** ...
nothing more, nothing less... or else: much more and nothing else
