The Zebra Journal of Unified Physics (ZJŪP), Volume 1 — Q4 2025 is the inaugural issue of a new peer-reviewed research journal dedicated to the rigorous unification of fundamental physics.

This first volume introduces Time-Scalar Field Theory (TSFT), a novel theoretical framework proposing time as an active scalar field governing gravitation, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and cosmology within a single mathematical structure. The journal is intended for professional researchers, advanced students, and mathematically trained independent scholars exploring foundational questions in physics.

What This Volume Contains

This issue includes multiple original research papers developing, testing, and applying TSFT across established empirical domains, including:

A scalar-time explanation of relativistic time dilation and causal structure
Analysis of GNSS atomic clock residuals as observational evidence of time-field gradients
A derivation of photon propagation as a consequence of temporal efficiency rather than spatial geometry
Extensions addressing entropy, coherence, and conserved scalar identity
A unified mathematical treatment connecting classical, relativistic, and quantum regimes

Each paper is presented in full academic format with formal derivations, assumptions, predictions, and references.

Scope and Intent

ZJŪP is not a popular-science publication. It is a technical research journal designed to invite serious scrutiny, replication, and debate. While the ideas presented are unconventional, the standards of argumentation are intentionally conservative: explicit assumptions, transparent mathematics, and clear separation between formal derivation and philosophical implication.

This volume establishes the foundational axioms, notation, and predictive structure of TSFT, forming the reference point for all future issues.

Format and Access
