EMH - Eternal Moment Hypothesis

View Dataset
Montrose, Guy A

Description

The Eternal Moment Hypothesis (EMH) proposes that time is not a fundamental variable in physics. Instead, the universe is described as a timeless configuration space containing an entropy-ordered sequence of quantum states. Temporal flow emerges from the monotonic increase of a global entropy functional according to dt = k, dS. Dynamics arise from relational mappings between neighbouring entropy states, consistent with the Wheeler–DeWitt constraint. Spacetime geometry emerges from the quantum state via a functional map g_{\mu\nu} = \mathcal{G}(\Psi), recovering general relativity in the semiclassical limit. The framework resolves wave-function collapse by interpreting measurement as an entropy-increasing entanglement transition, providing a natural explanation for decoherence and the Born rule. Black hole evaporation, information preservation, and the thermodynamic arrow of time arise consistently within a single timeless ontology. EMH suggests empirical signatures in decoherence scaling and early-universe cosmology. This deposit provides a public, timestamped record of the Eternal Moment Hypothesis and its core theoretical structure.
