Description
We investigate the properties of a Proper-Time Oscillator—the temporal analog of the quantum harmonic oscillator. Such an oscillator exhibits the same properties consistent with those of a particle in both quantum theory and general relativity. To begin, we find that spacetime can be quantized at energies far above the Planck scale. The quanta of this spacetime–excitation field are proper-time oscillators. the field is characterized as bosonic, and each proper time oscillator possesses the properties of a boson. We further extends our results for a fermionic field. Next, we examine the spacetime geometry outside a stationary proper time oscillator, treating it as a classical object (i.e., neglecting quantum effects). The resulting geometry is Schwarzschild, corresponding to a rest mass in general relativity. Together, these results indicate that a particle's intrinsic proper-time oscillation provides the means for direct spacetime interaction and the generation of a gravitational field, assuming the particle is an excitation of its quantum field and the underlying spacetime. We also explore how such oscillations might affect neutrino arrival-time measurements. Our analysis indicates that spatial oscillations of a 1-TeV neutrino may not be entirely beyond observational reach in a laboratory, offering a potential signature of time-based fluctuations.
