I haven’t had time to fully read or understand, so I’ll quote some modern philosophers on the subject of time.

“Time is the essence
Time is the season
Time ain’t no reason
Got no time to slow

Time everlasting
Time to play b sides
Time ain’t on my side
Time I’ll never know”

“Time is an illusion; lunchtime doubly so.”

The theory also argues that time comes in three dimensions

Maybe that's why I sometimes go into a room then stop and wonder why I went into that room.

I believe the three dimensions of time and emerging space sprung from one of Joe Biden’s puddings and spread in all time and space directions. Prove me wrong!

And the guy takes a posting in Fairbanks Alaska. ;-)
Must have been slim pickings when he was looking for a postdoc position.

Good to know... I assume we’ll need to spend hundreds of millions more to know even more about this stuff that means nothing to nobody, so expect that grant cheque in the mail in a week or two. Money well spent.

In modern academia, the best fiction writers are not in the English department, but in the physics department.

The only trouble is they try to pitch it as nonfiction.

I graduated from UAF.

It was dark and cold all winter. I remember some fun walks from the SAC to the Patty Center.

I will not return my BSEE degree.

Well, there’s high time and long time, but I’m struggling with the third dimension. Suggestions?

I will point you to the ultimate, greatest, bestest philosopher of the 20th Century, Douglas Adams, who accurately described time in his seminal works of: The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, and So Long and Thanks For All the Fish.

Directly is the quote: ““One of the major problems encountered in time travel is not that of becoming your own father or mother. There is no problem in becoming your own father or mother that a broad-minded and well-adjusted family can’t cope with. There is no problem with changing the course of history—the course of history does not change because it all fits together like a jigsaw. All the important changes have happened before the things they were supposed to change and it all sorts itself out in the end.

In a corollary observation: ““The History of every major Galactic Civilization tends to pass through three distinct and recognizable phases, those of Survival, Inquiry and Sophistication, otherwise known as the How, Why, and Where phases. For instance, the first phase is characterized by the question ‘How can we eat?’ the second by the question ‘Why do we eat?’ and the third by the question ‘Where shall we have lunch?”

Therefore we can deduce that time is simply an invention by humanity in order to make dinner reservations.

"Now the time has come (Time)
There's no place to run (Time)
I might get burned up by the sun (Time)
But I had my fun (Time)
I've been loved and put aside (Time)
I've been crushed by a tumbling tide (Time)
And my soul has been psychedelicized (Time)"

I think if one re-reads this in one of the other time dimensions it makes a lot more sense.

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.
