Time in the MARIAS Theory

Introduction

In the MARIAS Theory, time is not an independent dimension, nor a flowing river as imagined in classical physics. Instead, time is a measure of the rate of change in vibrational states of photon-based structures. This perspective redefines time as a consequence of physical processes, not as a container in which events happen.

Time in Classical Physics

In Newtonian mechanics, time is absolute and flows uniformly, independent of observers and events. This allowed for predictions in systems under motion, but it assumed a static backdrop against which everything happened.

Time in Relativity

Einstein's relativity introduced a revolutionary idea β€” that time is relative to motion and gravity. Time dilates (slows down) in stronger gravitational fields and at higher velocities. But time is still treated as a dimension in the space-time continuum, tightly bound with space itself.

The MARIAS Perspective

In the MARIAS Theory, time is understood as the oscillation rhythm of photonic vibrations. Every structure in the universe β€” from electrons to galaxies β€” is built from localized photon vibrations. The frequency of these oscillations defines a natural internal clock.

Therefore, time becomes a relative measure of phase changes in these oscillations. It does not exist independently but emerges from the way light vibrates and structures interact.

Mathematical Expression

A localized photon vibration can be written as: 

        ψ(x, t) = A Γ— cos(2Ο€f t + Ο†) Γ— Ξ¦(x)

The "clock" of the system is encoded in the term cos(2Ο€f t + Ο†). The rate of time is determined by the frequency f of the oscillation. Faster oscillations mean faster "internal" time.

Irreversibility and the Arrow of Time

In classical thermodynamics, time's arrow points in the direction of increasing entropy. In MARIAS theory, time's irreversibility emerges from the loss of coherence in photonic vibrations. As systems interact, they lose synchronization, and energy spreads out, leading to thermodynamic effects.

Example: Atomic Clock

Atomic clocks measure time based on the oscillation of electrons between energy levels. In MARIAS terms, they track the phase changes of internal vibrations β€” confirming that time is simply a pattern in localized photon motion.

Conclusion

The MARIAS Theory defines time not as a flowing entity but as the rhythm of light’s vibration. There is no absolute time, no global clock β€” just countless interacting oscillators whose synchronization defines our sense of duration.
