Theoretical physicist Sabine Hossenfelder ask the question, “Why do we have units of time, length, energy and mass”.
Could the reason we measure in Units be because, the future is unfolding in units of unitary action or quanta? If we think of the future as emergent coming into existence quanta by quanta or photon by photon with the spontaneous absorption and emission of light waves. We would have an uncertain probabilistic future unfolding with each photon electron interaction. There is a geometrical aspect to this process with light waves radiating out spherically forming the characteristics of three-dimensional space with one variable in the form of time. This geometrical process would give us a reason way we measure in units as in time, length, energy and mass. At a deeper level, the spherical geometry of this process would explain why we have Ford cycles in our mathematics. Also such an emergent geometry would give us a reason why we have an infinite number of fractions between each two whole numbers.
