Quantum physics unsettled?

In my previous three posts three commonly accepted views on the goings-on in space-time have been brought up for discussion. 

A new definition for gravitation has been proposed.
The idea that dimensions like lenght, width and height bear relevance in space-time has been renounced.
By introducing time as an important factor in a new context, an element of predictability has been entered into competition with the unpredictability of quantum physics.

Firstly mass and time have been interconnected causally.
Secondly this causality has been placed within the scope of the four dimensions mass, energy, space and time.
Thirdly an opening has been made towards a discussion about the inexorability of Max Planck’s quantum hypothesis. To this end the properties of C are down for consideration first.

No dice in space-time

Changes of energy or mass in space-time continuously lead to changes in the division of mass and energy, which changes again cause mass and energy to change etc. Changes in the course of time continuously form part of these processes. Time runs slower as the impact of mass and energy increases, whereas time runs faster as the presence of mass and energy is diminishing. In this way changes in (the division of) mass and energy in space-time are attended by changes in the course of time. Taking into account that the continuous relation between mass and time, dependent on how mass and energy are divided in space-time, causes the directions in space-time only to differ from each other as to the course of time (relatively slow or relatively fast), the freedom of travel through space for light and consequently also for the transmission of energy or information, applies to all directions in space-time. Hence there is no difference between the directions of time and the directions in space. Any event therefore, originating in a particular point at a particular moment, will unfold histories from that point and that moment on into each and every direction. Events moreover will develop faster into directions where the course of time is relative fast and slower into directions where the effects of mass and energy are relative strong and the course of time therefore is relative slow.
Apparently developments of histories of events in space-time are predictable to a certain extent and therefore not subject to mere chance. Likely this applies also to events on a (sub)atomic scale.
The effects of time on events may also explain why big massive star-systems contain comparatively few new-born stars, the course of events being relative slow due to the presence of big masses. Furthermore the effects of time may be the answer to the question why the universe appears to be lopsided.

Gravitational waves do not exist

According to the general theory of relativity gravitational waves are emitted by masses losing energy.
However, considering that gravitation is the consequence of a continuous relation between mass and time, the impact of gravitation can be visualized as follows.
Because of the continuous mass decrease of the sun and its therefore decreasing gravitational influence, the earth is covering ever growing distances per unit of time. In this way the distance between the earth and the sun is increasing. In cases of time-delay the opposite happens.

This continuous relation between mass and time raises the question whether or not time-effects are biassing the results of qravity-measurements and the conclusions of the Big Bang theory with regard to the total quantity of matter which is supposed to form part of the universe. Only a very small part of the predicted quantities is actually visible.

In this context the recent (1998) discovery of the accelerated expansion of the universe is very interesting. Although a generally accepted explanation is still missing, the accelerated expansion appears to be the logical consequence of time running faster as space-time expands. This raises the question whether or not calculated distances, f.i. between galaxies, are correct. Do they really represent space-time distances?
The energy released in this process of expansion is a possible explanation for the microwave background radiation.

The space-time-curvature delusion

The general theory of relativity predicts that light is deflected by gravitational fields. Time is subject to mass also i.e. time runs slower as gravitational impact grows and vice versa. These predictions have been proven correct.

Gravitation is considered to be the effect of space-time being curved by the division of mass and energy in it. In his Special Theory of Relativity Einstein wrote: “A curvature of rays of light can only take place when the velocity of propagation of light varies with position”. By introducing gravitation as a consequence of space-time curvature in his General Theory of Relativity, Einstein made it possible for the speed of light to be constant.  If a ray of light, at constant speed, follows a curved and therefore longer path under the influence of gravitation, it is only logic that it’s travelling time increases or, in other words, time is slowing down (Shapiro-effect).

Both phenomena, curved path and time-delay, do raise the question whether a curved path is cause or effect of time-delay. According to the principle of general relativity, signals or bodies always move along straight lines through the four-dimensional space-time. However, since space-time is curved by the division of mass and energy in it, to us signals and bodies seem to move along warped tracks in our three-dimensional world. If a curve turns into a ram-course, a body or the energy of a signal will collide with/will be absorbed by the mass under the influence of which it came. Whether we look at such an event from a four-dimensional or a three-dimensional view does not matter, the result is the same.
The relation between gravitation and time-change has been proven real by means of atomic chronometers. The deflection of light rays under the impact of gravity, like the sun’s, has been confirmed by many observations. Time-delay generated at the same time makes the observation place shift during the consequent time-difference. Hence it goes without saying that light rays seem to be deflected.
In a space-time which is not necessarily curved by the division of mass and energy in it, we may consider gravitation as a consequence of a continuous relation between mass and time.
