Are We Missing a Dimension of Time?
Posted On : Jun / 16 / 2008
A
scientist has put forward the suggestion that there are two
dimensions of time, not the one that we are all familiar with, and
even proposed a way to test his heretical idea next year. Time is
no longer a simple line from the past to the future, in a four
dimensional world consisting of three dimensions of space and one
of time. Instead, the physicist envisages the passage of history as
curves embedded in a six dimensions, with four of space and two of
time. "There isn't just one dimension of time," Itzhak Bars of the
University of Southern California in Los Angeles tells New
Scientist. "There are two. One whole dimension of time and another
of space have until now gone entirely unnoticed by
us."
