Time, not space plus time, might be the single fundamental property in which all physical phenomena occur, according to a new theory by a University of Alaska Fairbanks scientist.
The theory also argues that time comes in three dimensions rather than just the single one we experience as continual forward progression. Space emerges as a secondary manifestation.
"These three time dimensions are the primary fabric of everything, like the canvas of a painting," said associate research professor Gunther Kletetschka at the UAF Geophysical Institute. "Space still exists with its three dimensions, but it's more like the paint on the canvas rather than the canvas itself."
Those thoughts are a marked difference from generally accepted physics, which holds that a single dimension of time plus the three dimensions of space constitute reality. This is known as spacetime, the concept developed more than a century ago that views time and space as one entity.
Kletetschka's mathematical formula of six total dimensions—of time and space combined—could bring scientists closer to finding the single unifying explanation of the universe.

I think if one re-reads this in one of the other time dimensions it makes a lot more sense.
Past time or night time or dinner time or bed time
Groan. Thomas of Aquinas reflects Aristotle’s definition of time as the measurement of motion. It’s the mental construct formed from the observation of before/after and cause/effect.
God is outside of time because He is immutable. Scientific theories notwithstanding.
To say time has 3 dimensions is a statement without meaning.
Interesting theory with 3 dimensions.
Today could be reflected 3 different ways depending on one’s perspective:
As it was in the Days of Noah
As it was in the Days of Moses
As it is in the Days of the Pope
Time, in this case, a day, represented 3 different ways
Time is the invention of human mind.

I think Scarlett Johansson explained the theory long ago, in “Lucy”. There is no difference in science between Hollywood and MIT, these days. After all, three out of four people in America think that Matt Damon grew potatoes on Mars.
Time is the same in a relative way, but we’re older. Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death.

YESSIR! All Praise and Glory to the One Who created time (AND space) and Who lives unconstrained by either!

Robert Heinlein, The Number of the Beast was based on the premise of three time axes.
That’s what I thought.
I Read a Book by Hugh Ross
a Christian Physicist years ago and it
Was very good.
It taught me one thing and that is We live in the middle of two Eternities.
The ‘present’ is ours.

I once saw the future...something that happened 3 weeks later exactly as I had seen. Someone I barely knew died in a specific way, at a specific time and a specific place.
So...obviously there is a lot we don’t understand. In another dimension has my life already happened?
