Overview

  • Professor Gunther Kletetschka published his three-dimensional time theory June 23 in Reports in Advances of Physical Sciences at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
  • The model posits three time dimensions as the primary fabric of reality and casts space’s three dimensions as secondary manifestations.
  • It reproduces known masses of electrons, muons and quarks, forecasting neutrino masses of 0.058 eV and 0.0086 eV with high precision.
  • The theory uniquely predicts slight differences in how fast gravitational waves and light travel, offering a clear experimental signature.
  • Next-generation colliders, advanced gravitational wave observatories and cosmological surveys running through 2030 are expected to verify or refute its key predictions.
