Abstract: This book, Time Hybrids, describes an entirely new theory about the world, a major step in an entirely new direction of science and our understanding of the world. It offers multiple ways of rethinking almost everything, combining the abstract and the real, the observed and the non-observed, the existent and the non-existent in a purely geometric way, using a single generic model. It deals only with Time, which is simply defined as a totally ordered set of states. Between the states there are connection maps that deal with changes in the time intervals between moments, where a moment is an element of T. In this generic model, time is neither a set of real numbers nor a geometric line nor a vector space over the real or complex numbers. The only condition is that Time is a totally ordered set. Since time is one of the most elusive concepts for us, this new approach could or will have massive implications for the natural sciences and the way we look at the world.
