A Global Conservation Principle for Time with Local Redistribution
Abstract
We propose a speculative conceptual–mathematical framework in which time is treated as a globallyconserved quantity at the scale of the Universe. In this model, time is neither created nor destroyed byphysical processes, but locally redistributed under the influence of energetic cosmic phenomena. While localobservers may experience variations in the rate of time, the total temporal content of the Universe remainsequal to a fixed initial value, assumed to predate the Big Bang. The aim of this work is not to replacerelativistic descriptions of time, but to introduce a global conservation constraint that complements localrelativistic effects and invites philosophical discussion.
