description: This paper introduces the Thermal Spacetime Unification (TSU) theory, which proposes that time is not a fundamental dimension of the universe, but rather a fifth-order phenomenon — emerging from thermal interactions. In this framework, temperature exists prior to time and acts as a more primary physical quantity. Time, according to TSU, arises only as a result of thermal gradients and interactions, making it dependent on temperature rather than independent. The theory integrates thermodynamics with relativity and quantum mechanics, introducing modified equations and testable predictions, especially under extreme thermal conditions. Broader implications for cosmology, black hole physics, and the early universe are explored.Files
