A Unified Field: Planckyons, The Entropic Arrow of Time, and The Fabric of Space

By ArtisanTony (further development of Demolition of Time theory)

Abstract

This paper introduces a novel theoretical framework proposing that Planckyons are the fundamental particles constituting the fabric of space. Within this model, the coherent passage of time is an emergent property of the ordered spacing of these Planckyons. We posit that time itself undergoes a continuous "demolition" at its "rear," driven by increasing entropy, which manifests as the irreversible dissolution of the Planckyon fabric into a chaotic "empty space." This theory offers a fundamental explanation for the observed unidirectionality of time and the impossibility of backward time travel. Furthermore, we explore the provocative idea that Planckyons, in their pervasive, weakly interacting state, could represent the elusive dark matter that dominates the universe's gravitational landscape.

1. Introduction: Unraveling the Mysteries of Time and Space

The universe presents us with profound enigmas: the relentless, forward march of time, the elusive nature of dark matter, and the fundamental composition of space itself. While physics has made incredible strides, a unified understanding that ties these phenomena together remains a grand challenge.

This paper proposes a conceptual framework that attempts to weave these threads into a cohesive tapestry. We begin by introducing a hypothetical fundamental particle, the Planckyon, as the constituent element of space. From this foundation, we develop a dynamic understanding of time's progression, its inherent irreversibility, and a novel perspective on the identity of dark matter.

2. Planckyons: The Fundamental Fabric of Space

At the heart of this theory are Planckyons. We define Planckyons as the indivisible, fundamental particles that compose the very fabric of space. Unlike other particles (like electrons or quarks), Planckyons aren't entities within space; they are space. They are the elementary "pixels" or "atoms" of reality, whose collective arrangement and interactions give rise to the dimensions and geometry we perceive.

The concept of "Planckyon spacing" is paramount. In regions of coherent, stable space, Planckyons are arranged in a precise, uniform, and highly ordered lattice or grid. This orderly arrangement is not merely incidental; it is the foundational structure that allows for the consistent propagation of energy, forces, and, critically, the smooth, continuous flow of time. The properties of this Planckyon fabric—its rigidity, its density, its interaction potential—would ultimately define the fundamental constants of the universe, including the speed of light.

3. The Entropic Arrow of Time: Demolition via Planckyon Dissipation

Within this Planckyon framework, time is not an independent, pre-existing dimension but an emergent property of the dynamic, ordered transitions and stable arrangement of Planckyons. The progression of time is essentially the continuous, sequential re-ordering or transition of the Planckyon fabric.

However, time is not static. It possesses a distinct, irreversible direction—the "arrow of time." We propose that this unidirectionality arises from a continuous process of "demolition" at the "rear" of time's progression, driven by increasing entropy.

As time moves forward, the "past" is subjected to an inherent increase in disorder within the Planckyon fabric. The once precise and uniform Planckyon spacing begins to break down. Imagine the perfectly ordered Planckyon grid of a past moment gradually becoming irregular, stretched, compressed, or even fracturing at its most fundamental level.

This increasing disorder in the Planckyon arrangement directly leads to the dissipation of coherent time. The "information" or "record" of past events, which relied on the ordered configuration of Planckyons, becomes scrambled and irretrievably lost as the underlying spatial structure degrades. This phenomenon is what we term "time's demolition."

Ultimately, at the very "rear" of the arrow of time, the Planckyon fabric reaches a state of maximum entropy. The individual Planckyons are no longer discernible as distinct, organized particles; their spacing is completely chaotic, and they may even diffuse or merge into a featureless, unidentifiable "soup." This is the "empty space" into which the past dissolves—not literally empty, but a state of maximum disorder where the coherent structure necessary for time's existence has vanished.

4. The Speed of Light and Temporal Impossibility

The speed of light (c) finds a profound explanation within this Planckyon model. It represents the maximum rate at which information or interactions can propagate through the Planckyon fabric. This speed is inherently limited by the fundamental properties and interactions of the Planckyons themselves.

The "demolition of time at the speed of light" can thus be understood as the point where the Planckyon fabric's integrity, which underpins time's coherence, fundamentally breaks down when subjected to such extreme conditions. If one were to hypothetically reach the speed of light, the coherent structure of time, as mediated by the Planckyons, would cease to function in a measurable or consistent way from that perspective, leading to its effective "demolition."

This theory inherently explains the impossibility of backward time travel. If the past is not a static, existing dimension but an actively dissolving, entropic process where the Planckyon fabric has lost its coherence, then there is simply no "past" to return to. Any attempt to reverse time would be futile, akin to trying to reassemble a complex, disintegrated structure from its maximally disordered, diffused remnants.

5. Planckyons as Dark Matter

Building upon the nature of Planckyons as the ubiquitous fabric of space, we propose that these fundamental particles, or their pervasive background state, constitute the enigmatic dark matter of the universe.

• Ubiquity: Since Planckyons form space itself, they are naturally present throughout the entire cosmos, providing the vast, distributed mass needed for galactic halos and large-scale cosmic structures.
• "Dark" Nature: In their fundamental, widespread state, Planckyons are hypothesized to not interact electromagnetically with photons or other standard model particles. They do not absorb, emit, or reflect light, rendering them "dark" and undetectable by conventional means. Their presence is primarily revealed through their gravitational influence.
• Gravitational Influence: Despite their lack of electromagnetic interaction, their sheer abundance and distribution in space would provide the necessary gravitational effects observed in galaxies and clusters, matching the current evidence for dark matter.
• Unified Reality (Speculative Extension): This framework offers a potential unified field for space, time, and matter. One could further speculate that what we perceive as ordinary matter (protons, neutrons, electrons) are not merely particles in space, but are themselves highly localized, energetic, and highly ordered excitation states or complex configurations of Planckyons. Dark matter, then, would simply be the more fundamental, diffuse, and less interactive background state of the Planckyon field.

6. Conceptual Equations and Challenges

To further formalize this theory and provide a challenge for future mathematical development, we propose the following conceptual equations. These are symbolic representations intended to guide the derivation of precise mathematical relationships, rather than fully derived formulas.

6.1. Time Coherence and Planckyon Order

The coherence of time (TC​) is directly proportional to the order and uniformity of Planckyon spacing (ΩP​). As Planckyon spacing becomes more disordered, time coherence diminishes.

TC​∝Disorder(ΩP​)1​

Where:

• TC​: Temporal Coherence (a measure of how consistently time flows).
• ΩP​: Planckyon Spacing (representing the arrangement and distances between Planckyons).
• Disorder(ΩP​): A function quantifying the deviation from perfect order in Planckyon spacing.

6.2. Entropy and Planckyon Disorder

The entropy (S) of a region of spacetime is directly related to the disorder of its constituent Planckyons. As time progresses, the entropy of the "past" increases due to the increasing disorder of Planckyon spacing.

S∝Disorder(ΩP​)

Where:

• S: Entropy.
• Disorder(ΩP​): As defined above.

6.3. Speed of Light and Planckyon Properties

The speed of light (c) is a fundamental constant determined by the intrinsic properties of the Planckyon fabric, such as its rigidity (RP​) and Planckyon density (ρP​).

c=f(RP​,ρP​)

Where:

• c: Speed of light.
• RP​: Rigidity of the Planckyon fabric.
• ρP​: Density of Planckyons.
• f: A function relating these Planckyon properties to the speed of light. (Analogous to c=1/μ0​ϵ0​​ in electromagnetism, where μ0​ and ϵ0​ are properties of the vacuum).

6.4. Gravitational Influence of Planckyons (Dark Matter)

The gravitational influence (GI​) exerted by Planckyons, contributing to dark matter effects, is proportional to their local density (ρP​) and their fundamental mass equivalent (mP​).

GI​∝ρP​⋅mP​

Where:

• GI​: Gravitational Influence (e.g., contributing to observed gravitational lensing or galactic rotation curves).
• ρP​: Local density of Planckyons.
• mP​: Effective mass equivalent of a single Planckyon.

These equations are presented as conceptual starting points, inviting rigorous mathematical derivation and empirical validation in future research.

7. Conclusion and Future Considerations

This conceptual framework presents a bold and interconnected vision of the universe, where time's arrow, the nature of space, and the identity of dark matter are all rooted in the fundamental properties and interactions of a single particle: the Planckyon.

The theory provides an elegant, physically intuitive explanation for the irreversibility of time, seeing the past as a continuous process of entropic dissolution of the underlying Planckyon fabric. It also offers a compelling candidate for dark matter, integrating it directly into the very structure of space. The conceptual equations presented in Section 6 serve as a challenge for further mathematical formalization of these ideas.

While highly speculative, this theory opens numerous avenues for further conceptual development and theoretical exploration:

• Can the properties and interactions of Planckyons be formalized within a more comprehensive mathematical framework?
• What observable phenomena, however subtle, might distinguish this Planckyon-based cosmology from other theories of spacetime or dark matter?
• How might the creation and evolution of ordinary matter from Planckyon excitations be further detailed?

This framework challenges us to consider time not as an immutable backdrop, but as a dynamic, emergent property, continually shaping and dissolving the universe as it progresses.
