In any dimensionality of space/time which contains only one dimension of time - there is no conceivable local unaware and non-intelligent origin for a message which anticipates that which has not yet occurred, e.g. the need for maintenance or repair.

Great observation, dearest sister in Christ! Which is why I'm so open to Wesson's proposal of a fifth "time-like" dimension to constitute a three-space, two-time model....

Moreover, it seems to me that Feynmann''s path integral formalism — widely used in physics, and now in biology — would need a fifth temporal dimension to account for all the "instantaneous" — i.e., superluminal — virtual particle histories that are summed to give a precise result regarding the current state of the real particle....

Inadequate conceptions of time seem to be a major problem for the natural sciences nowadays.

Thank you so very much for this excellent essay/post!

So very true.

It is probably human nature (a limitation of vision and mind) to think of time as an absolute and linear - even when we are aware of relativity and the possibility of additional dimensions of time.

But God's Name is I Am. So the more we focus on Him, the more we hallow His Name, the more aware we can become of time, eternity and timelessness.
