Does the Flow of Time Depend on Energy Content? – A Conceptual Exploration

Author: Tan Jun Hao

Abstract

Throughout human history, one of the most enduring questions has been: "What is time?" This article proposes a new perspective by expressing time as a function of energy, and discusses the validity and limitations of this approach.
