With two times, Bars believes, many of the mysteries of today’s laws of physics may disappear.

There are a lot of two-timer mysteries in bars...........

If you have multiple dimensions of time it would be nearly impossible to prove whether events are synchronous, which would really screw up the meaning of the word "is".

Sometimes the effects of that second dimension of time arn't so small. ;)

Does that mean this article has two published times?

There’s how long men perceive time to elapse, and how long women perceive it to elapse. Totally completely different, like they’re on different dimensions!!

No officer, I didn’t do that, or if I did it was in the other time dimension . . .

This is somewhat old ground. One problem with yet another time dimension is that causality would be gone. While time is an illusion anyway, planar time would not add much when there are 26 dimensions to begin with, some timelike, some spacelike and none actually either.

I sense a Country and Western song coming on...

I'd love to see the mathematical proof of that claim -- particularly if I could understand it (which I probably couldn't)!

Bars’ math suggests that the familiar world of four dimensions — three of space, one of time — is merely a shadow of a richer six-dimensional reality. In this view the ordinary world is like a two-dimensional wall displaying shadows of the objects in a three-dimensional room.

Socrates and his cave analogy was way ahead of its time.

the Darwinists keep coming up with outlandish ideas to try to explain their sham theory.

Yes, men and women are from different space-times that overlap. There is ‘manspace-time’ and ‘womanspace-time.’ I think Bars is onto something here!

You know, we mathematicians have got to learn to promise crap we can’t deliver.

Physicists and biologists have been doing it for decades.
