Is There a 2nd Dimension in Time?

In summary, the conversation discusses the concept of multiple dimensions in time, specifically the possibility of a whole extra dimension in time. The idea is not commonly accepted and is relatively new, as most discussions about extra dimensions focus on space rather than time. One person brings up the idea of "the trousers of time," which is a reference to a concept in a science fiction book, and another person notes that this is where many of their philosophies come from.

2 dimensions in time?

sorry for another thread, anyway, I've heard before theories about 'the trousers of time' and such, basically, a dimension consulting choice, which allows the theory of alternate realities or parrallel dimensions

however i have never heard anyone say about the possibility of this being a whole extra dimension in time, i have heard of extra dimensions, but only in the string theory, and i believe that was 6 new space dimensions

is this a commonly accepted idea or is it reletivly new and fresh?

"Trousers of time" sounds like Terry Pratchett (a science fiction author - a good one, too, but he's writing (mostly) humorous Sci-fi, not a physics textbook).

hey, most of my philosophies come from his books... :P

but i see your point, i mean, time travveling bag ladies?
 

FAQ: Is There a 2nd Dimension in Time?

What is the concept of "2 dimensions in time"?

"2 dimensions in time" refers to the idea of having two different dimensions or variables that change over time. These dimensions can be anything from physical quantities, such as temperature and pressure, to abstract concepts, such as emotions and attitudes.

How is "2 dimensions in time" different from traditional 3-dimensional space?

In traditional 3-dimensional space, there are three dimensions that describe an object's position in space: length, width, and height. In "2 dimensions in time", there are only two dimensions that change over time, making it a more simplified concept.

What are the applications of studying "2 dimensions in time"?

The study of "2 dimensions in time" has various applications in different fields such as physics, psychology, and economics. It can help us understand complex systems, predict future trends, and analyze the relationships between variables.

Can "2 dimensions in time" be visualized?

Yes, "2 dimensions in time" can be visualized using graphs, charts, and other visual aids. These tools can help us see the changes in the two dimensions over time and make it easier to analyze patterns and trends.

How does "2 dimensions in time" relate to the concept of time as a fourth dimension?

The concept of time as a fourth dimension is often used in theoretical physics to explain the relationship between space and time. However, "2 dimensions in time" is a separate concept that focuses on the changes of two dimensions over time, rather than the overall concept of time as a dimension.
