Unified Five-Dimensional Framework: Time Delay-Induced Curvature and Frame-Dependent Light Speed

This paper presents a five-dimensional (5D) spacetime model wheregravitational curvature emerges from a mass-induced time delay field,while the speed of light is frame-dependent in a 4D projection. Thismodifies standard relativistic quantum mechanics, affecting wave-particleduality and observable interference patterns. The framework unifies gen-eral relativity (GR) and quantum mechanics (QM) by linking gravity totime delay fields and treating quantum behavior as a projection modulatedby the modified speed of light. Predictions include a modified double-slitinterference pattern for relativistic electrons, deviations in gravitationalwave signals, and observational signatures in high-energy diffraction ex-periments
