Assume you take the normal x,y,z we “know” from reality and separate them out into 3 distinct 1 dimensional lines.
Add another 1d line for time.
We can see you can’t simultaneously move both “forwards” and “backwards” on any of these lines.
Postulate: for time, matter (from our point of view) can only move in a singular direction from t=0 onwards (we’ll call this positive), antimatter can only move in the opposite from t=0 (negative).
And, unless there is momentum in any of the spatial dimensions the particles travel on the t axis at C. I.e v=C on the t axis for matter And v=-C for antimatter.
Second Postulate: the cumulative velocity of all particles must equal the speed of light
Any momentum in the spatial (x,y,z) dimensions subtracts from t: explains time dilation (as an adjunct)
v(t) = C-(v(x)+v(y)+v(z)) (very very simplified for this)
Finally matter / antimatter annihilation is the equivalent vv, as is the case for any direct impact of two masses of equal mass and velocity. Giving us e=m(cc), in a general sense without all the pesky gravitational warping of space and time.
Btw: I’m not a particle physicist (can you tell) but I did have this thought while developing code for a physics engine in a simulation game I was briefly involved in, so far I’ve not invested heavily in all the mathematics, but since I’ve just retired I might actually do so.
