In classical mechanics and standard quantum theory, time is treated as an absolute and external parameter, a universal background against which physical events unfold. The foundational theories of modern physics challenge this view. In special relativity, the passage of time depends on an observer's velocity; in general relativity, it depends on the local gravitational potential. This dynamic, observer-dependent nature of time raises fundamental questions about its status and necessitates a unified framework for performing operational calculations that are consistent across these domains.
