The body of experiments—from COW, through atomic interferometers, to satellite tests—tells us the same story: every quantum system exists in its own time, measured by its phase. Entanglement reveals that these internal times can remain in harmony beyond the differences of local clocks, and future quantum clocks in superposition will demonstrate that time itself is a quantum quantity. In this way, the paradoxes of information and entropy dissolve—because they are not problems of being, but of the mismatch between different internal times.

COW (1975): Neutron interference shows phase accumulation compatible with Δφ × Δt.

Atomic interferometers (Kasevich–Chu and successors): Confirm a linear dependence of phase on time.

Satellite experiments (QUESS/Micius): Entanglement persists over hundreds of kilometers despite differing local times.

Quantum clocks in superposition (theoretical): Could potentially demonstrate the quantum nature of proper time through loss of interferometric visibility.

Since phase is frequency x time, I’m not sure how this is a revelation of any sort

How does it “reveal” this?

Experiments show that the phase of each quantum system increases linearly with its “internal time,” remaining consistent even under differing local conditions. Entangled systems demonstrate that their internal times can stay synchronized despite differences in local clocks, revealing the quantum nature of time.

In relativity, everything has its own time. That is the main takeaway of the twin paradox. But whereas relativity seems to make use of already defined clocks, I think it is quantum mechanics that actually defines time (and space).

Yes, increasing linearly is what the equation shows. As I said.

I asked you to explain, not just repeat the claim.

Phase grows linearly with each system’s proper time, even when local clocks disagree. In entanglement, the correlations show that synchronization comes from the shared phase evolution of the state, not from external clocks.

The clocks would show the same time if they’re in the same frame of reference.

What synchronization? What phase?
