Quantized Space and Time Explain Properties of Relativity and Dark Matter

Some thought experiments are used to quantize space and time. This model adopts the idea that space and time are separate but related entities. Space is quantized into a unit called the “speck”. When specks are near fermions the interaction increases the rate of gauge boson production near the fermions. The rate of gauge boson production is related to the apparent rate of the passage of time. Specks exist in a standard state (SS speck), which contribute greatly to gauge boson production; however, once the speck produces a gauge boson, the speck shrinks in size and becomes a low energy speck (LE speck). LE specks have a reduced ability to form gauge bosons, but when they do, they shrink in size with each gauge boson produced. These properties and others are used to generate a model for quantized space and time which is then used to explain some of the properties associated with general and special relativity; such as time dilation, and relativistic changes in mass and length. The model provides some insight into how some dark matter observations have arisen. Before dismissing this model the reader should consider the following two issues; it is entirely possible to have an incorrect grammatical description of a phenomenon but a correct mathematical description and that it is easier to prove a mathematical description is correct than it is to prove the grammatical description.
