Whbat can possibly have led this physicist to guess that time is geometrical at all?
This statement:
"The novel idea that there are an infinite number of time dimensions in the Universe revolutionizes gravitational theory and much of modern science with it. A number of outstanding scientific mysteries are definitively solved, including observations that lead to the concepts of 'dark energy' and 'dark matter'."He's searching for conditions that explain the currently inexplicable. This is the equivalent of leaving a constant in your formula which absorbs all the discrepancies of your calculations.
Intuitively, I think it helps to explain the incredible size of the Universe, in comparison to its relatively young age. Now, if I can just have someone explain the explanation...
