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.

This isn’t the time nor the space for such articles lol 😆
Sci-fi is cool!
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.”
Modern science is what you get when you mate witchcraft and comedy.
Lol.
Let me improve on my formula:
Modern science = witchcraft + prostitution + comedy.
Waitress, I’ll have what he’s smoking.
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.
Bump for later...
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.
Forward, Astern, and Full Stop.
Just more junk science imo
