As we flirt with conceptual understandings of multiple realities, science is inching ever closer to the concept that there are not one but two dimentions of time.
Not long ago, the Telegraph UK reported on Itshak Bars' amazing theory of two-time physics, The theory suggests that rather than time being a simple line traveling from point A to point B, it is a seperate dimension to the existing three that we are aware of. Further, the passage of history is represented by curves embedded in no less than six dimensions, with four of space and two of time.
Implications? This is where it becomes more new age than science,at least in the traditional sense of the believable, for through this theory, it is expected that not only will many of the current problems with existing physics be solved, but that it will pave the way towards 'predictive outcomes; and time travel.
Tes, time travel.
"Until now, they have been reluctant to meddle with time because it can lead to unexpected consequences, such as time travel.
Changing our picture of time from a line to a plane (one to two dimensions) means that the path between the past and future could loop back on itself, allowing you to travel back and forwards in time and allowing the famous grandfather paradox, where you could go back and kill your grandfather before your mother was born, thereby preventing your own birth."
Perhaps the strongest implication in this proposal lies not in whether it is a verifiable truth per se, but that it demonstrates a continual line of thinking where science and alternative thought are inching closer together than ever before. witness one comment left by Dr. Peter Beamish, a Cetecean Biologist in Newfoundland in response to the article,
Amazing. Simply amazing.
December 21, 2012 is coming closer every day. The Mayan calendar's end date. Google it and you'll find lots of material. Time as we understand it is beginning to take on new shape.
Amaxing, indeed,
