I've got a fair intestinal sensation that it's the degree of transit in wave collapse to event horizon formation that determines a photons frequency; using the same logic, cycle times for elementary particles may decrease with greater energy (see 5-D's Wavicle Mechanics below); remember, these wavicles are also integrated into the wavefront of our universe; it is my speculative assumption that @ the nexus of wavicle/cosmic wavefront, where said wavicle is increasing energy via (acceleration/gravitational source), the wavefront exhibits a proportionally shortened cycle time in accordance to their mutual harmonic existence; meaning that it would locally increase in propagational speed compared with areas of less energy; it is this I believe that produces the time dilation effect.
Wavicle Mechanics
All particles may arise from cyclic trans-dimensional wave propagation stemming from a primary source of extreme high dimensionality. This initial wave has since undergone many stages of 'decay' whereby secondary, tertiary etc dimensional collapse has created the plethora of particles within & beyond our universe.
Wave propagation transits from high to low dimensionality (low to high density respectively) via a pivotal stage of highest condensation called a singularity & cycles upspace back to its beginning only to restart the process again ad infinitum unless further dimensional collapse occurs.
Before singularity creation, all waves form event horizons marking the magnetic/electric boundary responsible for the 180 degree out of phase temporal duality effect we know as the electric & magnetic field. The magnetic field of an electron represents all propagation exterior to the EH...The electric...is all propagation in respect to its interior!; it is this interior propagation that produces the charge field and the consequent temporal reversal effect 'magnetic field'. In this way the event horizon is analogous to a semi-transparent mirror. The EH's outer edge is magnetic maxima, " "...inner edge, electric minima, whilst the singularity represents electric maxima (point charge/mass) and co-existing event reversed magnetic minima.
With photons these forces are contained within lower dimensional restraints;only the exo EH wave component 'magnetic field' makes it's presence known whilst the electric component exists confined in an endo-EH vacuole. However, hypertoroidal wave propagation (like that which produces electro-positronic fields ) allows for this duality to manifest as force.
This wavicle 'exists' from singularity to hypertoroid in a continuous event loop courtesy of endo event horizon relativity which produces the temporal duality we label "electromagnetism".
In addition, the hyperspacial arc produced by the electro-positronic wavefront allows for wave transit around this 'structure'; being merely a component of its overall transdimensional propagation & that photons are carried as 'daughter wavicles on this circumnavigating wavefront. Particle charge can be thought as the directional penetration of this component wavefront through the 3-D wavefront of our universe; simply imagine a rotating ring intersecting an imaginary 2-D plane @ 90 degrees; the ring exists only as two separate points on this surface; can you see the motion of the ring @ these points? .... yes, you've got it! the electron and positron are one and the same; each electron in our universe may create a positron existing far beyond the edge of the visible universe.
Well if you have a low energy wave it might take a lot more condensing to arrive at the event horizon stage than say that of a high energy wave...might it not?
