Essay Abstract
A new dynamic process, Dynamic Incremental Scale Transition (DIST), is proposed that could explain the progression of time and resolve long standing issues in physics and cosmology. The semi-discrete DIST process, which preserves the spacetime geometry, agrees with astronomical observations and offers a link between General Relativity and Quantum Theory. Key words: Dynamic Incremental Scale Transition, New Cosmology, Progression of Time, Scale Equivalence, Dark Energy, Quantum Theory from General Relativity, Origin of Inertia
Author Bio
I am an independent researcher who has published extensively on cosmology and physics.

Dear Johan,
i read your essay just now. Being late to see such an innovative approach makes me feel a bit guilty in not coping up with other contributions here in the contest.
I enjoyed the freshness of approach. You could do it because you are free from the professional bias one developes when active in a profession. You appear to be a freelance person with genuine interest in physics and cosmology. It is jice to see that consider your DIST approach to cause very high frequency oscillations with very low magnitude to affect the space/time universe that is following a scale expanding growth.Interstingly you conclude that theuniverse does not necessarily comply what we currently believe to be ' the laws of Physics'. The natural compliance with the wave/particle duality is another off-shoot that interest any common man.
i need time to digest your approach better, but i don't feel you need to worry about its general acceptance in the present. Normally, professional physicist develop a bias towards what is accepted easily by the so-called peers in the field. i myself have had such experiences. But if one persists and work hard and genuinely, there is nothing to worry about what others think. More over, i also believe that the cosmological data currently available may get substantially upgraded as soon as cosmological telescopes go farther away in space with respect to our home, the earth. it happened to the mineral constitution of moon through remote measurements as soon as actual samples came from the moon. The figures had to be drastically revised, beyond the usual errors one attributes/evaluates about one's data!
In my own essay in this contest, i have provided some perspectives about the mysteries of the dark matter and energy, believing these conjectures to be true. you may like to comment after a study of the essay. On posts there , i have added two other preceeding manuscripts, one of which deals with' Inconstancy of the Physical Constants and Strengths of the Force/fields'. Current beliefs may have to be revised if one has to understand the universe in the first billion years of its life, i.e. 'the laws of physics do not seem to hold then', as agreed to currently!

Hello Johan,
very nice. thank you. arriving as it did in the flurry of last minute entrants, i'm concerned that it won't get the attention it should or would likely have received earlier here.
thanks again.
