This work reinterprets time to connect general relativity and quantum field theory, implying deeper insights into fundamental physics.
Connecting General Relativity (GR) and Quantum Field Theory (QFT) require a reinterpretation of time. This work explains how space and time cannot be separated, and how time is emergent from different photon trajectories through spacetime and how proper time differs between photons and baryonic matter. It also suggests how inertia (and mass) could emerge from the angular momentum of a trapped photon or oscillating particle. This is a draft. Your feedback is welcome and appreciated.
