Time as a Fundamental Agent in the

Unification of General Relativity and


Quantum Mechanics
Renan Souza
January 27, 2026

Abstract
This work proposes a hypothesis to address the incompatibility
between General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics regarding the
nature of time. We suggest that time should be understood as an en-
tropic record of space. In quantum systems, time remains fixed due to
negligible entropic variation, while in relativistic systems, time curves
as a function of entropy scale and gravity. In extreme regimes, such
as black holes, space continues to change while time appears frozen,
suggesting that space and time can be dissociated. This approach may
provide a common denominator for unifying both theories.

1 Introduction
Contemporary physics faces one of its greatest challenges: the incompatibil-
ity between General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. While Relativity
describes time as a dynamic part of spacetime, subject to gravitational cur-
vature, Quantum Mechanics treats it as a fixed and absolute parameter. This
divergence prevents the formulation of a unified theory.

2 Problem
• General Relativity: Time is relative, curved by gravity, and insepa-
rable from space.

1
• Quantum Mechanics: Time is fixed, external, and does not vary.

• Divergence: The absence of a common denominator for time makes


direct unification impossible.

3 Hypothesis
We propose that time should be understood as the entropic record of
space. Thus:

• In quantum systems (low entropy, low gravity), time remains fixed


because there is no sufficient entropic variation to alter it.

• In relativistic systems (high gravity, high entropy), time curves, reflect-


ing the entropic scale that organizes reality.

• In extreme regimes (black holes), space continues to change, but per-


ceptible time tends to freeze, suggesting that space and time can be
dissociated.

4 Candidate Equation
We define time t as a function of entropic variation (∆S) and spacetime
curvature (gµν ):
t = α · ∆S + β · f (gµν )
where:

• ∆S: entropic variation of the system.

• gµν : spacetime metric.

• α, β: coupling constants defining the scale of influence.

5 Implications
• Time is neither absolute nor merely geometric, becoming an emergent
variable of entropy.

2
• Gravity acts as a modulator, but not as the primary factor.

• Human perception of time would be a direct consequence of the entropic


scale of the universe.

6 Testability
1. Entangled quantum systems: verify whether entanglement entropy af-
fects temporal perception.

2. Black holes: explore the relationship between Bekenstein-Hawking en-


tropy and temporal distortion.

3. Computational simulations: model universes with time emerging from


entropy and compare with cosmological observations.

7 Conclusion
Time can be understood as the fundamental agent that unifies General Rela-
tivity and Quantum Mechanics. Entropy provides the common denominator,
explaining why time is fixed in quantum systems and variable in relativistic
systems. This hypothesis opens the way for a new formulation of quantum
gravity based on time as an entropic record.

The hypothesis utilizes spacetime entropy to suggest unification by positing that time's nature as an entropic record offers a common denominator across the disparate regimes of General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. In quantum systems, with minimal entropic change, time is fixed, while in relativistic regimes with significant entropic change, time is variable. This approach implies that by understanding time through the lens of entropy, both gravity and quantum phenomena can be explained within a singular framework, potentially harmonizing the two theories through entropy’s modulation of time .

The hypothesis considers human perception of time as a consequence of the entropic scale because it posits that time's flow and variability are directly linked to entropy levels in the universe. This implies that our experience of time, feeling it as flowing and variable, could be a reflection of the underlying entropic changes, where higher entropy corresponds to the perception of a more dynamic and curved time, as opposed to the static perception in low entropy conditions .

The hypothesis might influence future research into quantum gravity theories by providing a novel framework that uses entropy as a core aspect of time, potentially guiding researchers away from traditional spacetime geometric models. By positing time as an entropic record, it could lead to new formulations of quantum gravity that focus on entropic dynamics and interactions, possibly fostering developments in computational models and empirical tests that incorporate this new perspective on temporality .

The candidate equation proposed integrates entropy and spacetime curvature by defining time (t) as a function of entropic variation (∆S) and spacetime metric (gµν). The equation t = α · ∆S + β · f(gµν) uses coupling constants α and β to determine the influence of entropic change and spacetime curvature, suggesting that time is an emergent variable modulated by both entropy and curvature, rather than being absolute or purely geometric .

In extreme regimes such as black holes, the hypothesis suggests that space continues to change, but time appears frozen, indicating a dissociation between space and time. This occurs because, according to the hypothesis, the high entropy associated with black holes leads to a perception of frozen time, while spatial changes continue, showcasing how time can potentially dissolve in such conditions .

The hypothesis proposed by Renan Souza addresses the incompatibility by redefining time as an entropic record of space, suggesting that time's behavior differs based on entropic conditions. In quantum systems, where entropy and gravity are low, time remains fixed due to negligible entropic variation. In relativistic systems, where gravity and entropy are high, time curves, influenced by the entropic scale. This creates a unifying framework where entropy acts as the common denominator, making time appear emergent rather than absolute, thus providing a path to reconcile the two theories .

The hypothesis redefines the role of gravity concerning time by suggesting that gravity is not the primary factor influencing time's variability. Instead, time emerges primarily as a variable of entropy, with gravity acting more as a modulator. While General Relativity envisions gravity as a curvature of spacetime, profoundly affecting time, this hypothesis posits that time's alterations are more fundamentally tied to entropic changes, with gravity influencing these changes indirectly .

The hypothesis implies a significant shift in understanding time as not being absolute or merely a geometric feature of spacetime, but as an emergent property driven by entropy. This suggests that in different entropic conditions, time behaves uniquely, potentially being dissociable from space in extreme cases, as seen with black holes. This reconceptualization of time as entropic rather than spatially invariant challenges traditional views and implies a deeper underlying entropic connection between space and time .

The hypothesis suggests testing the relationship between entanglement entropy and temporal perception by analyzing entangled quantum systems to see if variations in entanglement entropy influence how time is perceived. This experiment could involve measuring temporal perception differences when examining systems with different levels of photon entanglement or in contexts that directly manipulate entanglement entropy, thus testing the hypothesis that entanglement affects time perception through entropy .

The proposed hypothesis challenges traditional roles by reconceptualizing time from being an absolute parameter in quantum mechanics and a curvature metric in general relativity, to an emergent, entropy-driven variable. In quantum mechanics, where time is traditionally fixed, the hypothesis suggests that fixed time is due to low entropy. Conversely, in general relativity, time as interwoven with space is seen instead as dynamically influenced by entropy. This fundamentally shifts the view of time, suggesting its behavior is not inherent but rather a consequence of entropic conditions .
