🔗 https://doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.22849.88168

This latest addition to the ECM series redefines energy density as a frequency-driven scalar quantity, arising from the dynamic decomposition of mass into mechanical and apparent components. It presents a frame-dependent structure where even massless systems—like photons—possess well-defined energy density grounded in oscillatory behaviour.

The appendix also draws astrophysical parallels with the Coma cluster, showing how ECM’s scalar mass logic mirrors the interplay of matter and dark energy observed in large-scale cosmic systems.

Implications of Negative Gravitational Mass (−Mɢ) and Frequency-Based Total Energy in ECM:

Total Energy Interpretation in ECM

Total Energy at emission:

Eₜₒₜₐₗ = PEᴇᴄᴍ + KEᴇᴄᴍ → (−Mᵃᵖᵖ) + (−Mᵃᵖᵖ) = −2Mᵃᵖᵖ

Since v = c, then

Eₜₒₜₐₗ = ½(−2Mᵃᵖᵖ)c² = −Mᵃᵖᵖc² → ΔMᴍc²

Thus,

Eₜₒₜₐₗ = ΔMᴍc² = hf/c²

Where −Mᵃᵖᵖc² corresponds to ΔMᴍc²

This formulation tightly binds frequency (f), mass shift (ΔMᴍ), and apparent mass (Mᵃᵖᵖ), emphasizing the frequency-origin of energetic processes.

·         Photon Trajectories: Deflection in gravitational fields occurs due to the effective curvature induced by differential Mᵉᶠᶠ values, where Mᵉᶠᶠ = Mᴍ - Mᵃᵖᵖ:.

·         Dark Energy Behaviour: Negative Mɢ explains the repulsive force contributing to the Universe’s accelerated expansion.

·         Gravitational Redshift: Arises not from spacetime distortion but from variations in Mᵃᵖᵖ and ΔMᴍ.

Time – as Understood in Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM)

July 25, 2025

Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM) asserts that time originates from energetic transitions and vibrational dynamics—not as a coordinate or dimension but as a physically emergent metric from real phenomena. This challenges relativistic interpretations that treat time as flexible and observer-dependent.

Why ECM Cannot Rely on the Relativistic Concept of Time

Relativity-based time dilation, governed by the Lorentz factor γ = 1/√(1 − v²/c²), has been critically challenged in ECM-related studies for the following reasons:

Critique Summary:

Neglect of acceleration: γ accounts only for relative velocity (v), not for the acceleration (a) that leads to that velocity.

Inapplicability in normal conditions: At low velocities (e.g. v = 100 m/s or even 1,000,000 m/s), γ ≈ 1, yielding negligible change. Thus, it’s non-functional in most real-world scenarios.

Lack of material response (k): The Lorentz formulation overlooks material stiffness or energetic resistance, a critical factor in energetic transitions.

Incompatibility with mass–energy transitions: ECM treats energy-mass transformation (Δm, ΔE) with direct application of phase-frequency dynamics, whereas γ fails to account for dynamic nuclear-scale interactions or stiffness-modulated deformation.

Conceptual deformation of classical structure: γ introduces a deformation of classical interpretations rather than an expansion or completion.

Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM) Challenges Quantum Claims of Negative Time and Probabilistic Photon Behaviour:

July 22, 2025

The analysed document, "Negative Time and Photon Behaviour: An ECM-Based Critique of Quantum Probabilistic Claims," primarily discusses the concept of "negative time" and the probabilistic behaviour of photons as claimed by some quantum theories. It then critiques these claims from the perspective of Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM). 

Here's a breakdown of the analysis:

1. The Claim of Negative Time:

Stuart Knaki references a discovery by Mohammad Qusir Rather and Aephraim Steinberg from the University of Toronto, who reportedly observed the "first evidence of negative time".

This observation suggests that photons exhibit a "peculiar curly or frizzy structure" and that their behaviour is governed by probabilistic principles, aligning with quantum mechanics where outcomes are subject to chance.

In the quantum mechanical context, negative time is interpreted as scenarios where time seems to move backward, challenging the conventional understanding of temporal flow.

Later, it's specified that these quantum-level claims, particularly from Aephraim Steinberg and his colleagues, involved photons interacting with ultracold rubidium atoms, where reemission appeared to occur before absorption, suggesting "negative dwell time". Popular science outlets have interpreted this as evidence challenging the unidirectional arrow of time.

2. Conventional Understanding of Time:

Conventionally, time is defined as "the indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future regarded as a whole".

A refined conventional definition describes time as "the indefinite continued progression of existence and events across past, present, and future, regarded collectively as a whole-advancing in an irreversible and uniform succession, and conceptualized as the fourth dimension beyond the three dimensions of space". This definition emphasizes its continuity, directionality, and role as a dimension underlying causality.

3. ECM's Perspective on Time:

ECM does not reject the uniform and unidirectional flow of time.

It treats all frequency displacements, phase transitions, and energetic reversions as events unfolding within the same irreversible temporal continuum. Time in ECM remains the backdrop for the evolution of energetic states, respecting its uniform unidirectionality.

ECM posits that at the universe's ultimate energetic threshold, a cyclic or reversible dynamic might emerge, not by violating the arrow of time, but through the reversion of energy states and frequency collapse at a cosmological limit. This suggests apparent reversals may manifest only at or beyond a critical energetic state, governed by ECM's mass-frequency interplay.

In ECM, time is not an independently flowing dimension but a derived consequence of phase displacement and frequency variation.

What is labelled "negative time" in quantum descriptions does not correspond to a literal reversal of temporal progression in ECM. Instead, it is understood as a localized inversion in phase behaviour or frequency collapse, especially under extreme energetic conditions.

ECM asserts that during all active stages of cosmic and quantum evolution, time retains its irreversible and uniform directionality, tied to the sequential unfolding of energetic events and apparent mass displacement.

The "negative time" observed in quantum optics experiments is interpreted within ECM not as a breakdown of temporal order, but as a manifestation of the extreme sensitivity of Δt to subtle fluctuations in frequency. Relations like 

Tdeg = x/360f = Δt or φ = 2nfΔt 

show that infinitesimal frequency changes can lead to dramatic shifts in Δt, "occasionally producing the illusion of a negative temporal interval". This is considered a deterministic outcome of phase-frequency structure, not a probabilistic anomaly.

ECM accommodates the interpretational appearance of negative time as a phase-based energetic anomaly while preserving the foundational integrity of cosmological temporal unidirectionality.

4. ECM's Critique of Photon Behaviour:

The claim that "photons exhibit a peculiar curly or frizzy structure, an appearance that is difficult to define clearly, often described as vague, indistinct, or hard to perceive" is seen by ECM as referring to interpretational challenges or observational limitations, not an intrinsic structure of photons. Such an appearance might result from entanglement, wave interference, or measurement distortions.

From ECM's standpoint, such ambiguity does not arise. ECM provides a well-defined and continuous description of photon behaviour across all relevant phases, from emission to its ultimate fate. ECM does not admit the notion of photons exhibiting a "curly" or "frizzy" nature, or any inherently unpredictable or ill-defined structure.

In ECM, photon dynamics, especially concerning negative apparent mass, are precisely described and governed by deterministic frequency-based principles. The idea of a photon possessing an inherently vague or chaotic structure is incompatible with the ECM framework.

The claim that "photon behaviour is based on or adapted to a theory of probability; subject to or involving chance variation" is also viewed by ECM as an interpretational challenge or observational limitation.

From ECM's perspective, photon behaviour is neither probabilistic nor indeterminate but is well-defined, coherent, and systematically governed by frequency and mass interactions across gravitational and anti-gravitational regimes. ECM offers a deterministic framework for understanding photon dynamics without resorting to probabilistic uncertainty.

5. Conclusion from ECM Perspective:

The observation of "negative time" at the quantum scale may reflect a temporal phenomenon specific to that scale, but it does not correspond to the irreversible, uniform time progression perceived at the cosmological scale, as clarified by ECM.

ECM suggests that apparent reversals in time may manifest only at or beyond a critical energetic fate.

ECM interprets the "negative time" observed in quantum optics experiments as a deterministic outcome of phase-frequency structure, not a probabilistic anomaly, where infinitesimal frequency changes can lead to dramatic shifts in Δt, creating an "illusion of a negative temporal interval".

ECM frames these behaviours within a causally coherent and structurally governed continuum, never implying retro causality or stochastic indeterminism.

Frequency and Energy in Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM):

Author: Soumendra Nath Thakur | ORCiD: 0000-0003-1871-7803

In Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM), the concepts of frequency and energy are reinterpreted with frequency (f) taking precedence as the most fundamental descriptor of a physical state. This framework positions frequency as more intrinsic to a system's dynamical evolution, independent of external reference frames, and dimensionally foundational for constructing observable quantities.

Frequency as the Primary Descriptor of Oscillation

In ECM, the argument for frequency's primacy is robust:

Synonymous with Vibration: Frequency isn't just a measure of vibration; it's considered synonymous with it. To talk about something vibrating or oscillating is, by definition, to imply a recurring event, and frequency quantifies that recurrence.

Mathematical Representation: ECM posits that frequency is the "only valid mathematical representation" of repetitive motion. Without a defined frequency, the concept of a regular, repeating vibration or oscillation becomes ill-defined. Consider a simple pendulum: its swing is described by its frequency (or period), not just its displacement.

Definitional Precedence: The idea is that vibration cannot be defined without frequency. This establishes frequency as the primary descriptor for any oscillatory system. It's the intrinsic characteristic that defines the very essence of its repetitive movement.

This perspective elevates frequency from being merely a derived quantity (like energy in the E = hf relation) to being the foundational property from which other related concepts emerge.

Reinterpreting the Planck Relation

The classical Planck relation, E = hf, is fundamentally reinterpreted in ECM. Here's how:

Energy as an Emergent Quantity: Unlike traditional physics where energy is a primary physical quantity, ECM views energy as an emergent concept. It's considered a secondary representation derived from a system's intrinsic frequency of phase transition or oscillation.

Conversion Constant: Instead of Planck's constant (h), ECM introduces its own conversion constant, for example, k = 5.558 × 10^−34 Js, which scales the system's intrinsic frequency to yield energy. This suggests that energy is a consequence of frequency, rather than frequency being a characteristic of energy.

Primacy of Frequency

ECM emphasizes the primacy of frequency over both energy and time (Δt) for several reasons:

Inherent to Dynamical State: Frequency is considered inherent to a system's dynamical state. It directly characterizes the ongoing evolution of a system without requiring an external timekeeper. This contrasts with energy, which depends on factors like system configuration (mass, motion, potential), and time, which is seen as relational and observer-dependent.

Fundamental for Oscillation: Frequency is deemed synonymous with vibration or oscillation and is presented as the only valid mathematical representation of such repetitive motion. It is argued that vibration cannot be defined without frequency, thus establishing frequency as the primary descriptor for oscillatory systems.

Cosmological Implications: In ECM cosmology, phenomena like redshift and energetic shifts are framed in terms of Δf (change in frequency) rather than time-based expansion. This perspective suggests that apparent energetic imbalances (ΔE) or mass variations (ΔM) over a duration (Δt) are governed by the fundamental phase-frequency evolution, not by the passage of time itself.

In essence, ECM proposes a shift from an energy-centric view to one where frequency is the foundational element driving physical processes and defining the nature of reality.
