The Time-Light Equivalence Principle

Abstract

We propose the Time-Light Equivalence Principle as corollary of TER and Nothon Hypothesis ($N_0$). What is termed speed of light $c$ is not velocity of photons through spacetime, but constant speed of time itself ($v_T$) within material universe. At this speed, time generates light; light is manifestation of time. At $v_T=c$, time transforms into its own singularity $T_0$ (Nothingness/Nothon Phase). Core result: Mass is condensed time $M_T$, $c$ is speed of time, therefore mass $\times$ speed of time$^2$ = energy of time: $E_T = M_T \cdot v_T^2$, $v_T=c$. Thus $E=mc^2$ is energy of time. Eternal cycle: $T_0 \rightarrow M_T \rightarrow E_T \rightarrow T_0$. Figure 1 shows master equation and cycle.
