Another interesting thought I had today on the way home from my Physics class

The biggest question regarding time and time-travel is whether time is linear, 2-dimensional, or 3-dimensional. As humans we can only perceive time seemingly in a linear fashion. However if one thinks of it in depth... humans often think about how life might have been had they done something differently. This could possibly add an extra dimension ( Read more... )

..i'm sure you do.

I myself have previously concocted a similar theory. The theory relates entrely to the concept that time is in itself a spacial dimension. When I was younger I refused to believe this. This was because that any event or series of events would create multiple possible outcomes. As a result Entropy (the state of disorder in a given space) would increase with time. It cannot possibly decrease with time. Conversely time cannot exist without entropy. The amount of timelines existing within the flow of time is constantly increasing. This suggests a sort of temporal beginning. I refused to believe that anything that would profess to be a manner of spacial measurement could possibly have a boundary such as a beginning. I have since come around. In closely examining the nature of space(not the outer kind I'm working on pure logic here, not idealism or philosophy. Bring either of those things into this and I'll kick your ass!) and measurement I have come to realise that x,y,z spacial meausrements bears a striking similarity to temporal ( ... )

Addendum! nihil_domini June 3 2005, 19:51:07 UTC

Any faulty logic or incomplete ideas are not the result of my own philosophical bent or belief structure. They exist purely because I'm really fucking lazy.

Oh, don't worry, physicists agree that time is the fourth dimension we all believe it to be. My physics professor says some similar things among-which is that time and space go hand in hand. You cannot move through one without moving through the other. Its just the nature of this fourth dimension which isn't quite agreed upon as of yet.

Also, another interesting theory my professor explained:
In your theory you assume both time and space are planar (e.g. coordinate axes, which means they go on forever and ever off to infinity in either direction). Recent studies have been done to see if space is planar or curved. Its a well-known fact that the sum of all angles in a triangle in a planar system is 180 degrees. What astrologists have done is picked three random stars in space and created a triangle, then added the angles between them. However, what they found was that the angles added up to less than 180 degrees, implying that space is curved (supposedly saddle-shaped). Its very hard to imagine this, but it does make alot of sense.
