![]() ![]() On one hand, Feynman's derivation of the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics treats space and time asymmetrically. As it treats time and space with complete symmetry and does not suffer from the ultraviolet divergences, it may provide a useful starting point for attacks on quantum gravity. The approach here has no free parameters it is therefore falsifiable. The usual ultraviolet divergences do not appear: they are suppressed by a combination of dispersion in time and entanglement in time. Additional effects include interference, diffraction, and entanglement in time. The principal effects are additional dispersion in time and full equivalence of the time/energy uncertainty principle to the space/momentum one. ![]() We predict a large variety of testable effects. The only change required is to generalize the usual three dimensional paths to four. But they are large enough to be detected with current technology, if sufficiently specific predictions can be made. Such effects are not ruled out by current experiments. From dimensional analysis, we expect quantum effects along the time axis to be of order an attosecond. This assumption is both untested and inconsistent with relativity. In quantum mechanics the time dimension is treated as a parameter, while the three space dimensions are treated as observables.
