  In this paper, a new complex variable defined as “precursive time” able to correlate general relativity (GR) and quantum field theory (QFT) in a single principle was characterized. The thesis was elaborated according to a hypothesis coherent with the “Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity”, making use of a new mathematical-topological variety called “time-space” developed on the properties of the hypersphere and explained mathematically through the quaternion of Hurwitz-Lipschitz algebra. In this publication we pay attention to the interaction between the weak nuclear force theory (EWT) and the nuclear mass of the Standard Model.

Introduction</title><p>In the previously published study (HDTSS 2016)1, we have exposed the thesis of a plausible “time curvature” induced by spacetime modifications. The hypothesis is coherent with GR which assumes that time curves jointly with space this is by definition.</p><p>The plausibility of the “time curvature” finds its theoretical hypothesis in the different classical representations of the “curvature” of spacetime, differently interpreted as a dynamic of a “twisting” process of spacetime.</p><p>From aconceptual point of view, the twisting dynamic implies a contraction effect of spacetime; the theoretical difference between “curvature” and “twist (torsion)” is decisive in the analysis of the topological variety of the system. The representation of space-time curvature is specifically described through the tensor equations as solved by the Einstein Field Equation (EFE), in other words, the contracting space-time places the time variable inside a concept equation:</p><p>&lt; minor space ⇔ minor time ⇒ less space → less time &gt;</p></sec><sec id="s2"><title>2. Theoretical Synopsis</title><p>Theoretically, the time curvature can be described as: the projection of instantaneous time onto an imaginary abscissa shifted in advance towards the future.</p><p>However, more concretely we can see it as a “time discrepancy” (∆τ) that originates between the event’s instantaneous time and its imaginary projection in spacetime. These results in a coherent representation of curved spacetime referred to a generic mass but specified by Planck constants. The topological characteristic of the representation of a time discrepancy or a spacetime-induced time warp was developed by placing as a reference theoretical concept: Minkowski4 spacetime2 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.101034-ref1">1</xref>] - [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.101034-ref7">7</xref>]. The Minkowski4 manifold highlights the position in Euclidean space of an event recorded in an instant “chronotope” time, however it does not make possible a connection to an imaginary temporal base. In order to operate on the imaginary time variable, the study has developed a specific topological manifold applied to the properties of the Hypersphere 3S Sphere [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.101034-ref8">8</xref>] - [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.101034-ref12">12</xref>] manifold, which made it possible to represent a complex imaginary time related to the frame of reference of instantaneous time. The studied manifold variety, defined as “time-space”, characterizes a pseudo-connection of correlative order between the time referred to the Minkowski space, and the projection on an imaginary timeframe of reference.</p><p>Time-space manifold resolves the correlation between &lt; Minkowski4 space &gt; and the projection of imaginary timeframe of reference elaborated based on the higher dimensions’ geometry of the 3-s Sphere hypersphere, running an entanglement-type correlation.

Discussion</title><p>Compared to the first publication of the theory, we collected reviews from many colleagues who highlighted the difficulty in understanding exactly the sense of time curvature and precursive time. The difficulty lies in acquiring a new knowledge of “binary” matter including of a hyper-dimensional part. As explained, the study basically demonstrates that matter and spacetime are two constituents of a single entity. The same principle is applicable on a nuclear scale by establishing a correlation at the base of the electroweak force, between the nucleus and the electronic orbitals, so even the Higgs boson, can be considered as the minimum time discrepancy amount that can give rise to a ponderable unit of mass through the LHC.</p><p>Some colleagues asked us if the theory went towards a GUT hypothesis or if ToE, given that in the same work it is exposed to gravitational force and electroweak force. However, the fact that the publication exposes aspects of general relativistic physics, and nuclear physics in the same study, confirms the hypothesis of a Theory of ToE Unification. This made it difficult even to characterize the physics area for the publication of this study.</p><p>As a final point, we can ask ourselves whether there are any scientific clues leading to acceptance of this hypothesis.</p><p>Regarding this difficult question we are sure that the theoretical research was born from the need to identify a scientific hypothesis consistent with the theories and phenomenologies gained, to provide an interpretation of the inexplicability/conflictuality of the current physics. To this aim, we can say that until now neither evidence nor clues have emerged, that exclude it from a valid research hypothesis.</p></sec><sec id="s8"><title>8.

However, the study proposes them as investigational indicators, suggested to the scientific community for all changes that the research will consider necessary:</p><p>Time curvature: It is understood as the discrepancy timethat occurs between inertial frame of reference and spacetime. The theoretical research that has been carried out has shown that the spacetime curvature is a phenomenon resulting from the complex interaction between the three exclusive ingredients that make up our universe: matter-space-time. The notion makes it possible to combine and unify quantum physics with classical and relativistic theories.</p><p>Precursive time: defines the value of the time curvature in quantities of Planck time or (-sec) of. It is the variable that quantifies the temporal curvature that the mass induces on spacetime. It can be considered as the physical mediator between matter and spacetime.</p><p>Space deflation - Time deflection: In the twist representation, the contraction of space (deflation) is related to a reduction of time (deflection). In summary, it takes less time to travel less space.</p><p>Chronotope: Indicates the spatial position of an event at a specific instant time. The chronotope establishes a condition of exclusivity, as there can be no overlap of events having the same space and time coordinates</p><p>Mass-matter: The equation with symbol (Y), enshrines a concept of complex mass.</p><p>Timespace manifold: The topological variety of relationships between Minkowski space and the projection of the complex time variable. The variety was developed to represent in a comprehensible form the points of conjunction between the real parameters of the event and its imaginary projection. The connection is hypothesized according to the principle of entanglement correlation.</p><p>Timespace Quadrant: Representation chart of all real and complex components of the event at the time instant.</p><p>Q. Heat capacity: Planck temperature related to time curvature. It is a parameter for the calculation of mass-matter. It expresses a thermal characteristic of matter (mi &gt; 0) as a function of spacetime.</p><p>Q.c.s. Quantum compensation spacetime (π<sup>F</sup>): coefficient for the calculation of the mass-matter. It determines the angular momentum of spacetime.</p><p>(A<sub>0</sub>) specific attraction degree: The study shows that inertial and gravitational mass derive from the same cause described as time curvature. It follows that a body’s gravitational attraction force can be simply resolvedas a specific attraction degree.</p></sec><sec id="s9"><title>Acknowledgements</title><p>I wish to thank all my trusted and intangible collaborators for all the support that they have poured into me during these years of study, starting with: Hermann Minkowski who despite his extraordinary synthesis of spacetime in the science of a thousand inexplicables is still somewhat unrecognized.
