Is There a 2nd Dimension in Time?

    Dimensions Time
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the concept of additional dimensions in time, particularly in relation to theories like "the trousers of time," which suggest a framework for understanding alternate realities and parallel dimensions. While extra dimensions are commonly discussed in the context of string theory, which posits multiple spatial dimensions, the idea of an entire extra dimension specifically in time is less frequently addressed. Participants note that while the notion of time travel and alternate realities is popular in science fiction, its acceptance in scientific discourse remains uncertain. The reference to Terry Pratchett highlights the blending of humor and philosophy in exploring complex scientific ideas, indicating that while these concepts can be entertaining, they may not be grounded in established physics.

2 dimensions in time?

sorry for another thread, anyway, I've heard before theories about 'the trousers of time' and such, basically, a dimension consulting choice, which allows the theory of alternate realities or parrallel dimensions

however i have never heard anyone say about the possibility of this being a whole extra dimension in time, i have heard of extra dimensions, but only in the string theory, and i believe that was 6 new space dimensions

is this a commonly accepted idea or is it reletivly new and fresh?

"Trousers of time" sounds like Terry Pratchett (a science fiction author - a good one, too, but he's writing (mostly) humorous Sci-fi, not a physics textbook).
 
hey, most of my philosophies come from his books... :P

but i see your point, i mean, time travveling bag ladies?
 

Thread 'RIP Robert Redford (89)'

https://www.newsweek.com/robert-redford-dead-hollywood-live-updates-2130559 Apparently Redford was a somewhat poor student, so was headed to Europe to study art and painting, but stopped in New York and studied acting. Notable movies include Barefoot in the Park (1967 with Jane Fonda), Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969, with Paul Newma), Jeremiah Johnson, the political drama The Candidate (both 1972), The Sting (1973 with Paul Newman), the romantic dramas The Way We Were (1973), and...
