Time-Gravity Fabric Theory (TGFT) – Conceptual and Semi-Mathematical Framework
Abstract
This work presents the Time-Gravity Fabric Theory (TGFT), a conceptual framework linking gravity, time, and mass. The central idea is that space is never truly empty, and a fundamental gravitational fabric exists everywhere. Time is not an independent entity; it emerges from this gravity fabric, and mass is a deformation of the fabric over time. The paper introduces a core conceptual equation: M ~ F.T where mass (M) is proportional to the local gravity fabric deformation (F) and the time interval (T) of interaction. TGFT explains: How mass forms gradually from small particles to large celestial objects How local time emerges in regions of high mass Why remote observers perceive time differently (e.g., Earth vs Black Hole) This version includes conceptual numeric examples, tables, and observer effect discussion. While the framework is speculative and semi-mathematical, it provides a clear, intuitive model for further exploration.
