What is The Relationship Between Energy Flow and Time Perception: A Theoretical Model
By Suhail Jalbout with ChatGPT Assistance
Abstract
This paper explores a novel hypothesis that time is a function of energy flow, particularly in systems where energy oscillates between two light-speed states. We develop a mathematical model that incorporates energy oscillation, time perception as an inverse function of energy, and relativistic effects from special relativity. The results suggest that time may slow down or become undefined under high-energy conditions, aligning with existing relativistic time dilation principles. This model provides a foundation for further theoretical and experimental exploration.
1.Introduction
Time has long been considered a fundamental aspect of physics, yet its true nature remains elusive. Conventional physics treats time as a dimension, but this work explores an alternative perspective: that time is an emergent property influenced by energy dynamics. We propose that if energy flows between two states at the speed of light, time may cease to exist, aligning with special relativity.
2. Mathematical Model
2.1 Energy/Time Relationship
It seems that energy, mass, motion, and time are all fundamentally connected. Without energy, there is no mass or motion, and without motion, there will be no time, and without time, there will be no space. This means, if there is no energy, everything disappears.
The equation of Einstein E = MC^2 confirms that energy is fundamentally dependent on mass and the speed of light squared, further reinforcing its influence on time perception. In addition, it is compatible with time dilation because energy is related to mass and mass is affected by time dilation. If the energy of a fast moving object increases, velocity and mass will increase but time will decrease, from the frame reference of an observer, in accordance with the principles of special relativity. This logic effectively connects the concept of energy with time perception as an inverse relationship.
2.2 Energy Oscillation
To model energy flow, we consider a periodic function representing oscillations between two states:
E(t) = Eo x cos(wt)????????. (1)
where:
? Eo: is the maximum energy level,
? w: is the oscillation frequency,
? t: is time.
2.3 Time Perception as a Function of Energy
We define perceived time T(t) inversely proportional to energy:
T(t) = k / E(t) ??????????... (2)
where k is a proportionality constant (kgxm^2/sec). Substituting E(t) into this function (Eq.1&2) gives:
T(t) = k / Eo x cos(wt) ???????. (3)
This formulation suggests that when energy approaches its maximum, perceived time slows significantly, while near zero energy, time perception accelerates.
2.4 Incorporating Special Relativity
Special relativity states that time dilates as velocity approaches the speed of light:
t?= t / √ 1 ? v^2/c^2 ????????. (4)
where:
? t?: is the dilated time,
? t : is the proper time,
? v: is the velocity of moving object,
? c : is the speed of light.
2.5 Velocity Oscillation Equation (Hypothesis)
If energy oscillates between two light-speed states, we assume a corresponding velocity oscillation:
v(t) = c ꟾ cos(wt) ꟾ ?????????. (5)
Substituting v(t) into the relativistic equation (Eq.4&5), we obtain the Lorentz factor
𝛾(t) = t / √ 1 ? c^2 x cos(wt)^2/ c^2 ??.(6a)
Which simplifies to:
𝛾(t) = t / √ 1 ? cos(wt)^2 ?????? . (6b)
Applying this correction to time perception (Eq.3&6b) gives:
Trel(t) = k x k′ / {Eo x cos(wt)} x {t / √ 1 ? cos(wt)^2} ????????? (7a)
Since we defined E(t) = Eo x cos(wt), we replace the latter by E(t) to give:
Trel(t) = k x k′ / E(t) x {t / √ 1 ? cos(wt)^2} ?????????????.. (7b)
which ensures that time perception remains correctly expressed as a function of energy and relativistic effects. We introduced proportionality constant k′ (1/sec) to correct the equation?s dimensions so that the right-hand of the equation maintains the correct physical units.
2.6 Implications to equation (7b)
This model implies that time perception is not an absolute measure but is intrinsically linked to the energy dynamics and motion of a system. The equation suggests a profound relationship between time perception, energy, and time dilation effects.
? As energy E(t) increases, the perceived time duration Trel(t) decreases and vice versa. This aligns with the hypothesis that higher energy states correspond to a deceleration of time perception, reasoning with the time dilation effects predicted by the Theory of Relativity.
? The term cos(wt) introduces a periodic function in the denominator, reflecting oscillations in energy over time. This suggests that time perception is not only influenced by the instantaneous energy level but also by its temporal variations.
? The oscillatory nature of the cosine function introduces a dynamic aspect to time perception, where it periodically accelerates and decelerate in synchronization with energy fluctuations.
? The undefined points cos(wt) = 0 highlight scenarios when relativistic speed approaches the speed of light leading to extreme dilation effects.
3. Simulation and Results
Computational model was implemented using Python to visualize these effects. The simulation confirmed that:
? Time perception fluctuates with energy, slowing near high-energy states.
? At relativistic limits (when energy approaches light-speed states), time perception diverges, suggesting non-existence of time in such conditions.
4. Discussion and Implications
This model aligns with the relativistic principle that time slows under extreme energy conditions. Additionally, it introduces a new perspective: if energy oscillates exclusively between two light-speed states, time may fundamentally cease to exist. This could have implications for high-energy astrophysical environments and quantum gravity theories.
5. Conclusion and Future Work
We propose that time is not an independent variable but a function of energy dynamics. Future research could explore:
? Quantum mechanical extensions, including zero-point energy effects.
? Experimental validation in high-energy systems such as particle accelerators.
? Applications in theories of emergent spacetime.
This work provides a foundation for reconsidering the nature of time and its dependency on energy flow.

Footnote: Justification for Introducing the constants k and k′
In physics, introducing a new constant with appropriate dimensions to ensure dimensional consistency is a standard practice. This method aligns with the Buckingham π theorem, which formalizes the process of nondimensionalization in dimensional analysis. By introducing k and k′, we ensure that the equation adheres to the principle of dimensional homogeneity, a fundamental requirement for physical equations. Consequently, the dimensions of equations (2) and (7b) are:
The dimensions of equation (2) are: (sec = kgxm^2xsec^2/ kgxm^2xsec)
The dimensions of equation (7b) are: (sec = kgxm^2xsec^3/ kgxm^2xsec^2)

"Entropy is time's arrow" (Eddington,1927, long before ChatGPT).
Perception by what?

Dear alancelverd,
Thank you for taking the time to read my OP. I appreciate your feedback and below is my humble reply:
"Entropy is time's arrow, Eddington,1927?
I do acknowledge Sir Arthur Eddington?s concept that the increase of entropy defines the directionality of time. In my OP, I propose an alternative prospective suggesting that time perception is influenced by energy dynamics particularly in systems where energy oscillates between two light-speed states. This approach aims to express the relationship between energy flow and time.
?Perception by what??
In this context, ?perception? refers to the measurement of time or experience of time within a given system, which could be observer by an observer or by a physical process. The OP suggests that time perception is inversely proportional to energy, indicating that as energy increases, the perceived duration of time decreases. This aligns with relativistic time dilation principle where time slows down under high energy conditions.
Thank you

Energy of what?

?Energy of What??
The energy in question pertains to a system wherein energy oscillates between two states associated with the speed of light. Specifically, this refers to a theoretical model where energy transitions between to relativistic states, each corresponding to velocities approaching the speed of light. This oscillatory behavior is central to the OP that such energy dynamics influences time perception, potentially leading to scenarios where time perception slows down or becomes undefined under high energy conditions, aligning with the principles of relativistic time dilation.

Time, as measured by clocks, actually expresses time as a function of space-time, which is a 2-D version of time, or time as a function of space.
For example, the unit of time; second, on an analog clock, is based on a hop of the second hand in space. Without the hop in space, we have no second. A digital clock changes the display, each second, but in the same space. We leave no space, we see no time change. The day is defined by the rotation of the earth in space and the position of the sun, at a place on the horizon, each day; east. This is not pure time, but needs changes in space to equate a time.
A clock cycles like a wave. Clock repeat every 12 or 24 hours, like a sine wave; wavelength=space and frequency=time. Even the term light year, overlaps time with space, since light year is about distance in space, using space-time, time, or is it time-space, space. An energy approach to time is consistent with the conventions of space-time, time, which is the tradition of science and commerce. However, it is not 1-D or pure time, detached from space. Even an atomic clock is about a cyclic frequency; space-time, time.
If you look at living things, they are born, mature, age and die. It follows a forward path that does not cycle like a clock. The clock, on the other hand, at the stroke of midnight, allows a new day to begin, sort of like the theory of reincarnation. The theory of Reincarnation appears to use 2-D space-time, time that cycles space and time, like a wave and energy; energy conservation.
Pure or 1-D time is much closer to the concept of entropy, than to 2-D time and energy; photons; particle/wave, and wavelength/frequency. The entropy of the universe has a vector; increases, whereas the sine wave of space-time, time, increases and decreases and allows reincarnation. It allows a new day, for the old you in 1-D time, as you age toward retirement. Two expressions of time overlap; 1-D and 2-D, with 1-D closer to pure time. Entropy not space dependent since it applies everywhere at the same time.
In terms of time travel, we cannot travel back into time; repeat the past. However, we could travel to the future, since that follows the vector of time. If you could time travel to the past, since no machine is 100% efficient, the machine will add entropy to you and the past, and therefore alter the past, into your new future. It is not the same past, anymore, since it has been changed, because there are no perpetual motion machines, to generate a pure past.
However, if we traveled to the future, we will also add entropy; machine inefficiency. Since the future is not yet set, it becomes our new future, which was also not yet set. So 1-D time goes forward, even if we wish to go backwards, like the reincarnation clock. The mid life crisis may impel the older man to buy a sporty convertible and getting tattoos. But this rebellion, does not make you 18 again. Rather 1-D time still goes to the future. However, with 2-D energy based space-time, time, and energy conservation, the fountain of youth seems partially possible; return to the old stomping gourds in space-time, time.
1-D time would conceptually be more like time lines, that can go straight or even curve. They would have potential in time; time potential, that defines its action, until it ends. The twists and curves of life, can causes the time line to meander, using up the time potential faster or slower; burn the candle from both ends.
A 1-D time line, would be like making popcorn, which is not reversible. We place the kernels of popcorn, in a pot, over the heat, and when the last kernels pops, the timeline is done. The time line of popping, goes slow in the beginning, and then goes gang busters, and then it decays to zero. All the potential to pop, in time, is now expressed. This is the end of the time line; future stop, and it is not reversible. A new time line appears, as we start to eat the popcorn. This too will end and is not reversible. We cannot un chew the popcorn. While the time line of eating might meander as we start slow, and then binge eat, until we are picking the last kernels from all the duds; time potential.
Say on the other hand, we boil water and catch the steam, condense it out, and collect the water.
In this case, we have sort of recreated time=0, in the sense of a new timeline and time potential to reach the same final state of steam, with our water boiling apparatus. This is closer to a reversible time line, but it can never be perfect. This can be modeled with space-time, time, since it is like a sine wave.
What we have also done is lower the entropy of the water, since the steam defines higher entropy than the liquid water. Based on our device and condensing the steam, we have added entropic potential or the potential for this water's history to repeat itself; 2nd law will act again, under these same lab boiling conditions. But like going back into time, our equipment will add entropy, and thereby alter the past to make it part of the future. However, we still have an entropic potential; new time line, until all the water boils again.
Entropy is often discussed in closed systems where entropy will then increase to a maximum. The closed system has its own internal time line and time potential; entropy clock. It is closed to the universe to separate it from other 1-D time lines and their time potential. If it was open, heat can radiate in or out, and alter the entropic potential of the internal time line as it move toward its new maximum entropy.

From your title; Energy flow and time perception, time perception, in a more conscious sense, is connected to pacemakers neurons, that generate rhythmic bursting activity, These neurons play a crucial role in various neuronal networks. These cells are found in areas like the neocortex, basal ganglia, thalamus, and hypothalamus. They are like little metronomes, that tick their version of the "second hand." Other parts of the brain, use these standard units of time, for time extrapolation; changes of life, hormone levels.
Time flies when you are having fun, makes time appears like time relativity. But this is done via neural extrapolation; software more than hardware, so to speak. However the pacemakers do use their energy in a cyclic way, to set the foundations for neural time extrapolation.
