Essay Abstract

Spacetime singularities such as black holes are the sole relativistic occurrence of nonreversible time. The maximal entropy for the volume of space black holes occupy would necessitate they are also the terminus for the arrow of time derived from the Second Law of Thermodynamics. When considering Feynman’s Proper Time approach to quantum physics and specifically antimatter, the convergence of three seemingly disjoint interpretations of time is realized. Potential answers to several foundational questions in physics and cosmology follow from this realization.

Feynman's nobel prize lecture goes into more detail regarding his space-time View of quantum physics.

Black Holes are already thought to be "antimatter factories" per a paper published this past January. The framework described here explains .:how:. Hawking radiation could be wrong, given that it was so widely accepted by the entire physics community. Using Feynman's quantum physics is elegant and yields some pretty unexpected conclusions.
