What is time? While most people think of time as a constant, physicist Albert Einstein showed that time is an illusion; it is relative — it can vary for different observers depending on your speed through space. To Einstein, time is the "fourth dimension." Space is described as a three-dimensional arena, which provides a traveler with coordinates — such as length, width and height —showing location. Time provides another coordinate — direction — although conventionally, it only moves forward.
"I have hypothesized that a single quantized entity in nature inevitably led to the evolution of two very different perceptions: time and space. I will call this entity “tise” and its quanta “tisons.” If we could observe tisons, they would appear to travel in a straight line at the velocity of light. In this concept, tisons are the carriers of all electromagnetic energy. The energy quanta exchange among tisons whenever the energy is redirected in any way. Although conceptually very different from the spacetime of Einstein's relativity theories, the tise concept is, I submit, internally consistent and may not conflict with either relativity theory in respect to predictability. This concept could ultimately lead to a unified theory of physics by eliminating the fundamental conflict between general relativity and quantum mechanics and by permitting background-independent formulation of string theory."
