Randomized trial explores gravitational time dilation mechanisms, suggesting new interpretations in physics.

This research aims to develop a wave-mechanical model explaining gravitational time dilation and geodesic motion.
Developed a localized wave-mechanical model based on the Transactional Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics.
Defined an effective temporal refractive index using the Schwarzschild gravitational clock-rate profile.
Interpreted geodesic motion within a wave-based framework without separate force laws.
Introduced a model where gravitational time dilation is a result of a phase lag in a high-density standing-wave configuration.
Showed that wave fronts bend in a gradient-index optical medium, similar to light in gravitational fields.
Demonstrated that geodesic motion emerges from the path of phase stationarity, consistent with the Equivalence Principle.

Jeroen van Bemmel (2026) studied this question.
