New Insights on Time and Quantum Gravity

According to Einstein, a universal time does not exist. But what if time is different than what we think of it? Cosmic Microvawe Background Radiation was accepted as a reference for a universal clock and a new time concept has been constructed. According to this new concept, time was tackled as two-dimensional having both a wavelength and a frequency. What our clocks measure is actually a derivation of the frequency of time. A relativistic time dilation actually corresponds to an increase in the wavelength of time. At the point where time wavelength and time frequency is equal, where light is positioned, quantum-world and macro- world are seperated. Gravity was redefined with respect to time and the new two dimensional time fabric of the universe was speculated to be the source of dark energy causing the universe to expand. According to this new point of view quantum realm and macro-world can be better understood. This new time concept provide a basis for our understanding of quantum gravity and provide the long-sought answers to well known problems of it. A prediction of the presented theory is that the universe will expand at various rates at different regions due to the fact that particular surroundings will create different gravities and cause a different gravity- time wavelength effect yielding various time delays for calculating this rate of expansion

Cardiac Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor Causing Pulmonary Artery Obstruction

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare soft tissue tumor of the heart. In the literature, cardiac IMT is often described as an endocardial-based cavitary mass originating from the right side of the heart in infants and adolescents. In this article, we present a 5-year-old boy with a rare cardiac IMT who had no complaints and was diagnosed with murmur during his routine examination. Transthoracic echocardiography showed a homogeneous polypoid mass originating from the pulmonary valve, extending into the main pulmonary artery during systole and causing obstruction of the pulmonary artery and right ventricular outflow tract. Surgical resection of the tumor was performed successfully. There was no tumor recurrence in the control echocardiography at the postoperative first month
