It's hard to find pieces of work on time particles. There isn't much on it because not much research has been done, but it's a key factor to the entire Big Bang/Bounce theory.

Einstein’s great insight was that spacetime is no mere stage on which the drama of the universe unfolds. It is an actor in its own right.

The spacetime atoms form a dense, ever shifting mesh. Over large distances, their dynamism gives rise to the evolving universe of classical general relativity. Under ordinary conditions, we never notice the existence of these spacetime atoms; the mesh spacing is so tight that it looks like a continuum. But when spacetime is packed with energy, as it was at the big bang, the fine structure of spacetime becomes a factor, and the predictions of loop gravity diverge from those of general relativity.
