Reference: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17594186 In the standard cosmological model (ΛCDM), two mysterious components dominate the universe: Quantum Traction Theory (QTT) takes a different path. It does not add a new particle dark sector. Instead, it replaces: Below, I’ll walk through the key boxed equations and then highlight the concrete tests that distinguish QTT from ΛCDM. 1. Dark …

QTT Thermopower: Capacity, Reality Dimension, and the thermoelectric field
https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17594186 In ordinary solid–state physics, a temperature gradient across a conductor can drive an electric field even when no net current flows. In linear response, this is written as the familiar thermoelectric or Seebeck law where is the Seebeck coefficient (thermopower). In Quantum Traction Theory (QTT), this macroscopic law is not just a phenomenological fit. …

Entropy & the Reality Dimension: How QTT Rewrites the Second Law
Reference of this blog https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17594186 In standard physics, entropy is a slippery concept. Sometimes it’s “disorder,” sometimes it’s “information,” sometimes it’s a probability over microstates. We write or, in quantum language, and then we say the “Second Law” claims that this entropy increases for closed systems, at least in practice. Quantum Traction Theory (QTT) takes …

QTT Velocity: How Motion Emerges from Ticks, World–Cells, and the Reality Dimension
Reference: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17594186 In school mechanics, velocity is introduced in a very simple way: It works incredibly well, but the underlying picture is left vague: time is continuous, space is continuous, and the speed limit is later imposed as a relativistic postulate. In Quantum Traction Theory (QTT), this story is rebuilt from the ground up. Instead …
QTT Force: When Newton’s Second Law Becomes a Planck-Bounded Tick Law
Reference: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17594186 In every physics course, we meet force as a slogan: It works brilliantly, but in the classical story it’s really just a definition: “force is whatever changes momentum,” and “inertia is just there.” In Quantum Traction Theory (QTT), this picture is sharpened. Force is no longer a primitive concept. Instead, it becomes: the …

Quantum Traction vs The Standard Higgs Story (and why it’s weird)
Reference : https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17594186 In the Standard Model (SM), fermion masses come from Yukawa couplings: where The SM says: But this comes with nasty baggage: QTT keeps the phenomenology but throws away the ontological story. 2. QTT’s Core Move: Mass = Capacity per Tick, Not “Higgs Gives Mass” QTT starts with two clocks: They are related …

How Quantum Traction Theory Rewrites the Penrose–Terrell Effect
Reference: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17594186 When an object moves close to the speed of light, special relativity tells us it is Lorentz–contracted along its direction of motion. Yet if you actually look at a fast object — or simulate the light rays correctly — it doesn’t appear squashed. Instead, a sphere still looks like a sphere, and a …

The Hidden Tilt of Time: How QTT Handles time in compare to Einstein’s Theory (and Still Recovers General Relativity’s time dilation)
https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17594186 What if Einstein’s time dilation is only half the story – and all our clocks are quietly “tilted” against a deeper, absolute time that never shows up directly in our instruments? That is exactly what Quantum Traction Theory (QTT) claims: PART I – Time Tilt (Tt) vs Time Dilation (Layman First, Equations Later) 1. …
One Formula, Many Crystals: How QTT Turns Faraday Rotation into “Integer Capacity Holonomy”
Reference: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17594186 What if the way light twists in magnetized crystals wasn’t just a messy material effect, but the shadow of a single, universal rule? In ordinary magneto-optics, the Faraday rotation angle θ — how much the polarization of light rotates in a magnetic crystal — is treated as a material-dependent constant. Each crystal gets …
How Much Spin “Leaks” Each Cycle? The QTT Story Behind a Surprisingly Universal Number
Attar, A. (2025). Quantum Traction Theory (QTT). Zenodo. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17594186 What if wildly different magnetic materials — from iron to fancy spintronic alloys — all leaked roughly the same tiny fraction of their spin “capacity” every time their magnetization precesses? That’s exactly what the Quantum Traction Theory (QTT) spin–damping test looks at. And the punchline is …
