Deriving E = mc² Without Relativity: The QTT Endurance Ledger

Reference – Quantum Traction Theory: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17594186 Einstein’s famous equation \[ E = mc^2 \] usually arrives hand‑in‑hand with special relativity: Lorentz transformations, Minkowski spacetime, and thought experiments with fast‑moving boxes and light beams. In Quantum Traction Theory (QTT), something unusual happens: the same relation drops out of a purely non‑relativistic, Planck‑scale endurance ledger. No Lorentz …

How Baryons Alone Predict a 15.4-Billion-Year Universe (Real Age of Universe) and how we observe it as 13.8?

Reference: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17594186 Standard cosmology tells us the Universe is about 13.8 billion years old. In Quantum Traction Theory (QTT), there is a deeper absolute time, and in that clock the age comes out closer to 15.4 billion years. In this post, we’ll do something very concrete: starting from observed baryons and the QTT White Void …

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 …

How Quantum Traction Theory Derives the Principle of Least Action

https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17594186 (reference) Why does Nature seem to “prefer” the path of least action? Most textbooks quietly start from this as an axiom: A physical system evolves along the path that makes the action S stationary (usually “least”). Quantum Traction Theory (QTT) takes a very different stance: it does not accept the principle of least action …

Unification of “Observers” in Special Relativity and Quantum Mechanics, Rebuilt from Quantum Traction Theory (QTT)

https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17594186 For me, always twin paradox, remained a paradox. It was not because of my lack of understanding of SR-GR. It was because I felt the explanation doesn’t add up if one clock stays on earth in a closed capsule, under 10g gravity and the other clock ships to space under 10g acceleration, continue that …

Neutrinos in Quantum Traction Theory (QTT): Why They Exist? — A Simple Guide to Ghost Particles and Pixelated Spacetime

More details and mathematical framework on the book Neutrinos are almost invisible, feather-light particles that stream through everything. Quantum Traction Theory (QTT) explains not only how they behave, but why they must exist if spacetime is a pixelated ledger driven by two interwoven clocks. Here’s the story—clear, visual, and light on math (with two crisp …
