What is Time

by Thomas Kakovitch

Overview

What is Time invites readers on a thought-provoking journey through the nature of time, space, and information. Building on Einstein's theory of relativity, this work explores time as an inseparable part of a four-dimensional space-time continuum-and ventures beyond, proposing the idea of a two-dimensional "time sheet" directly tied to information.

With clarity and depth, the book confronts profound questions: Does time have a beginning? Did it start with the Big Bang? Using Heisenberg's uncertainty principle as a lens, the narrative reveals why energy and time cannot be measured simultaneously-yet information and time can, opening new possibilities for understanding the universe's origins.

The Big Bang emerges not only as a "time wall" measured in Planck units, but as a simultaneous point of distinct informational value-an unexpected and revolutionary insight. Along the way, readers encounter the surprising relationship between dark matter, the flow of information, and the fabric of space itself.

This work challenges conventional cosmology and physics, offering a fresh, intellectually daring perspective for anyone intrigued by the mysteries of the cosmos, the foundations of reality, and the hidden interplay between time, space, and information.

About the Author

Emeritus Prof. Thomas Kakovitch was an Environmental Sciences professor at the University of the
District of Columbia for 43 years. He is a prolific researcher who holds over twenty patents focused on
environmental quality, productivity, and pollution remediation. His inventions range from air ejectors for
power plants to water quality improvements through oxygenation to fuel efficiency improvements in
shipping, and high-efficiency controlled environment agriculture (CEA).

Tom is the owner and Principal of Fusion Energy LLC and K&Y Datacenter Cooling. He has lectured
and consulted with governments and private sector partners around the world, including in Bangladesh,
Brazil, China, India, Israel, and Germany. He is the author of five books, one of them co-authored with Dr.
Sabine O’Hara, and has written numerous research reports and scientific studies.

Tom received undergraduate and graduate degrees in aeronautical engineering and environmental
engineering from the University of Maryland and previously studied in Strasburg and Paris, France. Born
in Russia, Kakovitch grew up in Iran and immigrated to the United States in 1964 from France. He is fluent
in English, Russian, French, Farsi, and Aramaic, but his primary language and first love is Mathematics,
which he calls the language of Nature.
