Every Topic, One Place · The Concept Index

One substance — time — stands behind all of it: what science calls gravity, light, the constants of nature, chemistry, life, mind and the cosmos.

Because the Universal Force of Time is a theory of everything, it has something to say about almost every question physics, chemistry and biology have ever asked. This page gathers those questions in one place. Find the thing you were curious about — the meaning of the number 1/137, what dark matter is, why a prism makes a rainbow, how the Born-Haber cycle works — and follow it straight to the page where the theory explains it.
