Time Wave Field
A Covariant, Dynamical Scalar-Field Model of Physical Time
A field-theoretic framework unifying gravitational time dilation, quantum decoherence, and cosmological dynamics
by Ozer Oztekin
Welcome dear physicists !
I am Dr. Ozer Oztekin, MD, and a Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Though my primary field is medicine, I am also an autodidact and a passionate enthusiast of Physics. My deep interest in the fundamental questions of the universe led me to explore how time, one of the most elusive concepts in physics, might be understood in an entirely new way.
Based on my manuscript titled “A Unified Field-Theoretic Model of Time as a Dynamical Scalar Field”, I have created this webpage. The central idea of my work is that time itself is a real, dynamical scalar field, rather than just a fixed coordinate or parameter. I propose that this Time Wave Field (TWF) could unify some of the most important phenomena in physics today, such as gravitational time dilation, quantum decoherence, dark matter-like effects, and cosmic acceleration, within a single theoretical framework.
The present work is actually the advanced form of my first published manuscript in 2020 titled ” New Insights on Time and Quantum Gravity”. The present one develops the same theoretical spine into a modern, covariant, testable framework. The relationship is evolutionary, not parallel.
The aim of this webpage is to explain how this current TWF model can be applied across a wide range of topics in physics, from quantum mechanics to cosmology. My work seeks to address some of the most long-standing puzzles in modern physics, including but of course not limited to : the Arrow of Time Problem, The Hubble Tension, The Measurement Problem in Quantum Mechanics, The Hierarchy Problem, The Flavor Problem, The Horizon Problem, Black Hole Singularity and Information Paradox etc. A vast number of testable predictions and experiment models are also presented.
The Time Wave Field (TWF) provides a single, scale-dependent dynamical principle that unifies phenomena previously treated as independent mysteries in physics and cosmology. By promoting physical time to a dynamical scalar field, TWF explains the origin of quantum decoherence, the flat rotation curves of galaxies, and the accelerated expansion of the universe without introducing additional particles or arbitrary constants. In this framework, the characteristic radius of a system, R, naturally sets the relevant physical laws, from stochastic phase fluctuations at microscopic scales to temporal drift on cosmological scales. The TWF thus offers a coherent, testable, and predictive theory bridging quantum mechanics, astrophysics, and cosmology.
I hope that the content of this webpage will inspire physicists around the world to further explore and refine these ideas, contributing to the development of a Theory of Everything. The ultimate goal is to test these predictions experimentally and explore their implications for both theoretical physics and cosmological observations.
If you find my work useful or inspiring in your own research, I kindly ask that you cite my manuscript appropriately. This will help advance the discussion and foster collaborative efforts in solving some of the most fascinating challenges in physics today.
Thank you for visiting, and I hope this page sparks new ideas and fruitful discussions in the field of physics!

Below is a Quick Look Index of the TWF Webpage:
1. The Microscopic Regime -Quantum Scale
Focus:
Wave-function collapse, quantum decoherence, and stochastic phase diffusion.
Key Mechanism:
High-frequency temporal fluctuations set by the geometric cutoff, v ~ c/R where the characteristic frequency scales as the speed of light divided by the size of the system. These rapid fluctuations act as a fundamental noise floor for quantum systems.
Featured Solutions:
-
The Measurement Problem
-
Geometric Cutoff for Collapse Models
-
Limits on the Casimir Force from Temporal Fluctuations
2. The Astrophysical Regime -Galactic Scale
Focus:
Modified gravitational dynamics, apparent “dark matter” effects, and gravitational lensing.
Key Mechanism:
Persistent spatial gradients in the time field create what we call temporal inertia. Matter moving through regions where the flow of time varies spatially experiences an effective modification of gravity, without introducing unseen particles.
Featured Solutions:
-
Flat Galactic Rotation Curves (SPARC Database)
-
Gravitational Lensing without Dark Matter Particles
-
Black Hole Regularization via a Frequency Cutoff

3. The Cosmological Regime – Large Scale
Focus:
The Hubble tension, dark energy, and the global arrow of time.
Key Mechanism:
A homogeneous, slowly evolving drift of the time field emerges as the universe approaches its causal horizon. This global change in the rate of physical time alters how cosmic expansion is measured, producing the observed acceleration.
Featured Solutions:
-
Resolution of the Hubble Tension

4. Experimental Validation and Analytical Tools
Focus:
Falsifiability, predictive power, and direct confrontation with experimental and observational data.
Featured Tools:
-
Google Colab: Sidereal Modulation Analysis
-

Foundation: General Relativity & Disformal Fields
Focus: Metric reparametrization and scalar–tensor derivation of the Time Wave Field.All regimes described above index are formulated within a relativistic spacetime framework. The geometric and dynamical consistency of the Time Wave Field with General Relativity is discussed in detail in the dedicated General Relativity section.
