Research shows that time is the basic structure of the universe.

What if everything we know about reality is a regression?

Physicists at the University of Alaska believe that time itself is the basic structure of the universe, not that space is the stage where time plays, but three dimensions that we have never noticed. This radical reimagining of reality could solve the biggest mystery of open physics: how to unite quantum mechanics with gravity.

Gunther Kletetschka, associate research professor at UAF’s School of Geophysics, developed a mathematical framework that shows that three time dimensions form “the main structure of everything, such as the canvas of painting.” In his opinion, the space became secondary – “more like paint on the canvas than the canvas itself.”

This is how we understand the profound reversal of existence. For more than a century, physics has regarded space-time as a unified entity, in which one of the dimensions of time adds space of three dimensions. Kletetschka’s theory completely flips this script.

Walking through the hidden road of time

To seize three-dimensional time, we need to give up our daily experience to move forward steadily to the moment. Imagine walking along a path of diameter – as we know it. But now imagine a second path horizontally.

If you can leave on the vertical path at the same moment, you may find slightly different versions on the same day. Moving along the second temporal axis allows you to explore alternative results without having to move forward or move forward in familiar time. The existence of these different possibilities represents the second dimension of time, and the transitional capacity between them constitutes the third.

This is not a science fiction guess. Kletetschka’s mathematical framework produces surprisingly accurate predictions of particle mass and fundamental constants. His theory calculates the mass of the top quark as 173.21±0.51 GEV, which can be extremely close to 173.2±0.9 GEV. The electron mass prediction matches the experimental value with nine decimal places.

This generation has solved the mystery

Perhaps most strikingly, the framework naturally explains one of the deepest problems of particle physics: why matter exists in three generations. The electrons, muons and tau particles form a family with a specific mass relationship of arbitrary length of time. The same pattern appears in the quark.

In Kletetschka’s three-dimensional time, these generations emerge from the time structure itself through eigenvalue equations. The theory predicts that the mass ratio between the particle families is 1:4.5:21.0, which inevitably originates from mathematics rather than being inserted as hypotheses.

The framework is further carried out, with unprecedented accuracy in predicting neutrinos:

• ν₃: 0.058±0.004 eV (heaviest neutrino)
• ν₂: 0.0086±0.0003 eV (neutrino)
• ν₁: 0.0023±0.0002 eV (lightest neutrino)
• New particle resonance of 2.3±0.4 TEV and 4.1±0.6 TEV

Gravity conforms to quantum mechanics

The most ambitious claim of the theory involves solving the biggest challenge of physics: gravity unifies quantum mechanics. Current theories that describe quantum behavior and gravity effects are fundamentally incompatible, leaving physicists without a complete understanding of nature.

Kletetschka’s approach enables the implementation of countless brilliant minds – it produces finite quantum gravity correction without falling into an infinite attitude that plagues other theories. These three time dimensions provide natural regularization, eliminating the mathematical catastrophe that usually occurs when quantum mechanics reaches gravity.

This framework predicts specific gravity wave characteristics that can be observed by the upcoming detector. Gravity waves should be different from the velocity of light, while ΔV/c = (1.5±0.3) × 10⁻⁻⁵, while other polarization modes should appear at characteristic amplitudes.

The true nature of test time

Unlike many theoretical physics proposals that remain forever beyond experimental scope, this framework can test specific predictions within a decade. High-light strong hasron colliders should detect predicted new particles by 2030, while advanced Ligo+ gravitational wave observations can confirm modified wave propagation characteristics.

Cosmological surveys will test the theory’s predictions of dark energy evolution, which should follow a specific pattern W(z) = -1 + (0.05±0.01) (1 + z)³. The Euclid Space Mission and the Vera Rubin Observatory will examine these impacts starting in 2027.

Perhaps most interestingly, the framework explains the weaker interaction violations through pure geometric shapes. The mysterious preference for left-handed particles in weak nuclear forces naturally comes from the three-dimensional time structure without other assumptions.

Rewrite the rules of reality

If confirmed, the theory will fundamentally rewrite our understanding of existence. Space is not what happens in space, but something that emerges from the deeper structure of time. Mass, energy, and the force between particles are all manifestations of time geometry.

“The unified approach may require fundamental rethinking of the nature of physical reality itself,” Kletetschka notes. His mathematical framework shows that treating time as a three-dimensional nature can solve multiple physical problems through a single coherent structure.

The publication of the theory in the report on the Advances in Physical Sciences represents more than an academic exercise. If the predicted particles appear in the collider experiment and the gravity waves show expected modifications, we may need to abandon the most basic assumptions about time, space, and reality itself.

Sometimes the deepest findings come not from adding complexity to our theories, but because people realize that we have always viewed the fundamental structure of survival from the entire wrong perspective. Time may not be the river we thought we were floating, it could be the entire ocean of reality swimming.
