-Presently I am working on time tensor and find that it may be of rank 6 or so. You may see my recent publication deriving rank 4 time tensor. However, applying group theory, etc. I could derive that time is rank 6 tensor, although in general, it could be rank-n tensor.

However, unlike space, temporal dimensions might manifest virtually. Hence topology of time tensor matrix may have both vector and scalar nature. Time wavefunctions might exist, making wavefunction collapse possible to point to scalar time, etc. This is an active research area for me, since not much is known about the nature of time per se. Conservation laws and other aspects that I have derived mathematically might be helpful to discern temporal PHYSICS!!

Perhaps, all that may be resolved as soon possible, though extensive research is highly recommended to understand correctly what exactly is time and how string theory may help in this regard, commutable to spatial geometry!!

This answer will be be abit self serving so I will do my best to maintain a dispassionate tone;

The idea of multiple dimensions of time, similar to the exploration of spatial dimensions in theories like string theory, is an intriguing concept that has been explored in various theoretical physics frameworks, including the Temporal Continuum Branching Theory (TCBT) as outlined. In this theory, time is not seen as a single, linear continuum but rather as capable of infinite division, with each division corresponding to a unique branching universe state. This notion posits that within these infinitesimally small temporal intervals, there exist limitless potentials for different universe states, suggesting a form of temporal dimensionality beyond the singular, forward-moving time we experience .

@

String theory and other high-dimensional theories primarily expand on spatial dimensions to reconcile the forces of nature and to explain phenomena that cannot be accommodated within the three spatial dimensions familiar to our daily experiences. However, the extension of dimensionality to time opens up a different set of philosophical and physical inquiries, especially regarding how we understand causality, determinism, and the fundamental structure of the universe.

The TCBT introduces the concept of temporal discretization, where time is represented as a continuum that can be divided indefinitely, leading to an asymptotic approach to zero for each division. This division results in distinct branches of the universe at each temporal fraction, where each branch can potentially diverge into several subsequent states. This branching mechanism, coupled with probabilistic transitions between states, offers a new framework for understanding universe dynamics that significantly diverges from classical and quantum mechanics' interpretations .

The implications of such a theory are vast, touching upon quantum mechanics, general relativity, and the philosophical underpinnings of free will and consciousness. For example, if time can indeed branch off into multiple dimensions, how would this affect the curvature of spacetime as described by Einstein's general relativity? Could this model offer new insights into the quantum mechanics principle of superposition, where a physical system exists simultaneously in multiple states? Moreover, the theory raises profound questions about the nature of choices and events: if every infinitesimal slice of time creates a new branch, does this mean our consciousness also splits, or does it follow a predetermined path across these branches?

“Is it possible for a second and more time dimensions to exist?”

- as that is completely rigorously scientifically provenin the Shevchenko-Tokarevsky’s philosophical 2007 “The Information as Absolute” conception, recent version of the basic paper see

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/363645560_The_Information_as_Absolute_-_2022_ed

- that is fundamentally impossible. Really there exist only one, unique and universal for everything, time dimension.

The people that invent physical “theories” with any other numbers of “times” make that since have only some completely transcendent imagination about what the really absolutely fundamental phenomenon/notion “Time” is; and about what are all other really fundamental phenomena/notions, first of all “Consciousness”, “Space”, “Energy”, “Information”,

- and “Matter”– and so about everything in Matter, i.e. what are “particles”, “fundamental Nature forces” – and so “fields”, etc.

The phenomena/notions above can be, and are, rigorously scientifically defined only in framework of the conception above, though for physicists it is enough to read the Shevchenko-Tokarevsky’s Planck scale informational physical model that is based on the conception, and in which, besides this “time problem”, a few tens of other fundamental physical problems are solved or well essentially clarified, 3 main papers are

Time is only change in a Universe of D spatial dimensions. Constant lambda of GR can have many values depending on the number of spatial dimensions of the Universe. Dark matter is vacuum energy in high spatial dimensions of a region of the Universe.

See my article on RG "Dark energy & dark matter: the theory of nothing for everything"

There have been attempts to create such theories, see, for example,

Article Multiple Time Dimensions

first you should answer the question: for what reason? people also discussed theories with noncommuting coordinates, without having any experimental evidence to demand this. bt this does not make sense. neither is there any exprimental evidence fo a multiple time theory.

yes.

As time is motion, it is 2-dimensional.

Dear Mr. Cervantes Wu,

In summary, it is clear that whether discussing spatial dimensions, hyper-dimensions, or temporal dimensions, the time dimension always maintains a superior position above event dimensions. Moreover, integrating the temporal dimension within event dimensions could lead to significant inconsistencies. Additionally, I am skeptical about the plausibility of the concept of multiple temporal dimensions, at least for the same start. However, it's worth noting that different beginnings may or may not accommodate the possibility of multiple temporal dimensions. This conclusion stems from my research endeavours.

Dear Mr. Cervantes Wu,

I hope this message finds you well. Thank you for engaging in this discussion and allowing me to further elaborate on the topic of multiple temporal dimensions.

In addition to my earlier comment, I would like to provide a more detailed explanation regarding the implausibility of multiple temporal dimensions.

1. Integrating the temporal dimension within event dimensions could lead to significant inconsistencies: This statement emphasizes the inherent uniqueness of time compared to spatial dimensions. Treating time merely as another dimension within the framework of events or spatial dimensions might overlook its distinctive properties and behaviors. Such oversimplification could potentially introduce logical or conceptual inconsistencies when analysing events and phenomena.

2. Additionally, I am skeptical about the plausibility of the concept of multiple temporal dimensions, at least for the same start: My skepticism stems from the notion that introducing multiple temporal dimensions within the same universe or reality could lead to a complex and potentially confusing scenario. Considering a single starting point or origin for the universe, the concept of multiple temporal dimensions appears dubious, given the intricate nature of time and its relationship with events.

3. However, it's worth noting that different beginnings may or may not accommodate the possibility of multiple temporal dimensions: Acknowledging the variability in the plausibility of multiple temporal dimensions based on different starting points or origins is crucial. In alternative scenarios or universes with distinct beginnings, the concept of multiple temporal dimensions might present a more plausible or feasible framework for understanding time's nature.

In conclusion, these insights are the result of thorough research endeavours, wherein I have carefully examined various theoretical possibilities and empirical evidence related to the nature of time and temporal dimensions.

Thank you once again for your interest in this discussion. I look forward to further exchanges on this intriguing subject.

Best regards,

Soumendra Nath Thakur

The really scientific answer to the thread question is in the SS post, page 1, March 24; so more see the post and links in the post..

Perhaps the past is a temporal dimension, the future a second temporal dimension and the present is the intersection of these two dimensions.

“…Perhaps the past is a temporal dimension, the future a second temporal dimension and the present is the intersection of these two dimensions.….”

- as that rigorously scientifically shown in the Shevchenko-Tokarevsky’s philosophical 2007 “The Information as Absolute” conception [the link see in the SS post on page 1], the fundamental phenomenon/notion “space dimension” is actualization of the absolutely fundamental “Logos” setelements “Space”

- a space dimension is logical possibility for any informational pattern/system [in the conception it is rigorously proven that there exist nothing besides some informational patterns/systems] to exist/ “be placed” on some line, which humans call “dimension”.

Concrete pattern/system can exist only in its concrete space, which can have more than one dimensions, which compose patterns’/systems’ “spaces”,

– where [in the space] arbitrary number of similar patterns systems can exist in different space points/regions; whereas between different patterns/system absolutely obligatorily not absolutely infinitesimal “space interval” must be. And, if a pattern/system changes its state at actualization of it’s a concrete degree of freedom of changes, at the change this pattern/system moves on some “space interval” in/along of corresponding dimension.

Correspondingly concrete patterns/systems exist and move in their concrete spaces, which have numbers of space dimensions that are equal to numbers of the patterns/systems different changes degreases of freedom. Say, an informational system Matter – and so everything in “Matter”, since Matter is based on rather simple binary reversible logics, exists and moves mostly in utmost universal fundamentally absolute, fundamentally flat, fundamentally continuous, and fundamentally “Cartesian”, 4D space with metrics (at least) (cτ,X,Y,Z,), where X,Y,Z are observable 3 dimensions.

The “Logos” element “Time” also is actualized as logical possibility for any informational pattern/system in “time dimension” to make any/every change,

- while any change is actualization of the “Logos element “Change”. Since in this case any differences in changes are inessential - all are some “changes”, in this case it is enough to have only one, absolutely universal for all changes “time dimension”,

Any/every change can happen in different time dimension points, whereas between different changed any /every patterns/system states absolutely obligatorily must be not absolutely infinitesimal “time interval”.

So, despite that “Space” and “Time” are logically essentially similar” Logos” elements, they are fundamentally different; besides the above [any numbers of space dimensions and only one time dimension], when in space dimensions it is possible, in principle, to move in opposite directions, all/every patterns/systems at every change move only in positive time dimension direction,

- but at that all – past, present, and future - are only on the one time dimension, which is “absolutely infinitely long”, since fundamentally cannot have any, including “simply infinite”, Beginning; and any, including “simply infinite”, End.

1st: one has to define time. Ergo, what is your definition of time?

Paul Pistea

The definition of time:

The indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future regarded as a whole, succeeding in irreversible and uniformed succession, referred to in the fourth dimension above three spatial dimensions. Source: Preprint Relativistic effects on phaseshift in frequencies invalidate...

FYI Sergey Shevchenko

yes, but what for?

“…The definition of time:

The scientific definition of the absolutely fundamental phenomenon/notion for humans “Time” see the SS posts, page 1, March 24 and page 2, April 10.

If quite briefly again, “Time” and “Space” are “Logos” elements, which are necessary for any informational pattern/system could exist

– while in the SS&VT really philosophical 2007 “The Information as Absolute” conception [the link see in the SS post on page 1] it is rigorously proven that there exist nothing besides some informational patterns/systems that are elements of the absolutely fundamental and absolutely infinite “Information” Set.

Time” and “Space” are actualized in the Set as time and space dimensions, which are logical possibilitiesfor different patterns/systems could exist be just different, i.e. between patterns/systems be non-zero “space intervals”, and so be placed in some different “points” on so “space dimensions”; at that all concrete spaces of concrete patterns/systems are composed by a number of independent space dimensions, the number is equal to number of independent degreases of freedom at a pattern/system’s changing of its state. At every concrete change the pattern/system moves in concrete space dimension on some space interval,

- while, since “Time” directly relates to “Logos” element “Change”, is unique universal for all the Set’s elements time dimension, where every the Set’s element moves at every its change on some time interval

Matter’s utmost universal degreases of freedom are the ones of Matter’s ultimate base – the (at least) [5]4D dense lattice of primary elementary logical structures – (at least) [5]4D binary reversible fundamental logical elements [FLE],

- so Matter is placed in its fundamentally absolute, fundamentally flat, fundamentally continuous, and fundamentally “Cartesian”, (at least) [5]4D spacetime with metrics (at least) (cτ,X,Y,Z,ct), where 3 XYZ dimensions are possibilities to make binary changes of FLE state – “FLE flips”, cτ-dimension is possibility of reverse flips, ct-dimension is just the time dimension [since any dimension fundamentally hasn’t some own intrinsic measure, in physics it is convenient to use “cτ” and “ct” instead everyday practice “t”, i.e. by multiplying on speed of light c]

However because of thee extremely mighty Galileo-Poincaré relativity action, in mainstream physics and everyday humans’ practice the really space cτ-dimension is used as the time dimension, so in the mainstream and the practice the space is 3D, the spacetime is 4D.

However, again, that is only because of humans’ illusory transcendent imagination of what “Tim/time” is/are. Really everything in Matter exists and constantly always changes and moves simultaneously in 4D space, and in parallel in 1D time, dimensions, with 4D and 1D speeds of light.

That is another thing that because of Sun [Erath, etc.] moves in 3D space with rather small speed, seems ~ 380 km/s, and practically so with the seed of light in ct-dimension, so in mainstream physics and everyday practice using the illusory “time dimension” is well adequate to the reality.

However when physics addresses to some really fundamental problem, that results fundamentally only in some transcendent “theories”. That started yet in first 1900s, but last at least 50 years that is fundamental obstacle for physics real development, and so, say, mainstream physics-2024 really is the same as physic-1980;

- while real physical development can be only basing on the SS&VT conception above and Planck scale physical model that is based on the conception.

Etc., more see the pointed above SS posts and links in the posts.
