The work that needs to be done here will depend to a large extend on the work on the previous section on the Electrostatic Field and EM Waves. When we have a clearer picture of EM waves as curvature fluctuations that propagate in spacetime with the speed of light (or maybe the "speed of time"; see Speed of Light and the "Rate of Propagation of Time"), hopefully it will be easier to see how these fluctuations can be quantized as to the energy they carry.
 
Maybe this happens through the existence of a minimal length interval, or a minimal time interval, or most probably both. At such scales, we are looking at the "pixels" of spacetime, and a pixel has both minimal length and minimal width. This, for the case of a spacetime, may mean a minimal interval along the space dimension, and/or a minimal interval along the time dimension (the "first" or the "second" time dimension; see [[Electrostatic Acceleration as the Result of Spacetime Curvature]]). In other words, we may have quantization of space, and/or quantization of the "first" time dimension, and/or quantization of the "second" time dimension. (And light may move along the "first" or the "second" time dimension only; see [[The Proper Time of Photons and the Nature of Light]].) Or there could also be "gaps" between successive discrete intervals.

A few words about what I am working on now and what I will be trying to do. The next step will be an approach of General Relativity from two different angles. The first is to try to introduce gravitation in the model of Proper Time Adjusted Special Relativity. The second will be to formulate General Relativity in extrinsic terms, and see if it agrees or not with what I will have come up through the Adjusted Special Relativity model. The intrinsic formulation of Tensor Calculus has obviously been very fruitful, but I suspect that an extrinsic formulation will be even more so, because it will show much more clearly how gravitation is produced by the curvature of spacetime.
