Quote of the Day
A new theory about time has really changed what is known about the cosmos. According to this new theory, time may actually have three dimensions. This then could also mean that space may be one-dimensional instead of three-dimensional, as we currently know it. This method of looking at the cosmos may then possibly explain some of the peculiarities of quantum mechanics, such as particles being in two places at the same time. It would even possibly explain the hypothetical faster-than-light particles.
…
Objects are able to start off being faster than light, but they are never able to then slow down below that limit. Researchers have noted that faster-than-light observers see three dimensions of time and then only one single dimension of space, instead of the three spatial dimensions of time and one dimension of space. This would then mean that particles follow more than one trajectory at the same time – basically travelling into more than one future simultaneously. From a “slower-than-the-speed-of-light” point of view, these faster-than-the-speed-of-light objects act like waves. According to researchers, this perspective may explain some of the mysteries surrounding quantum mechanics.

1905 Einstein’s theory about to be dismantled ― Experts find time’s ‘hidden dimensions’
I’m going to have to think about this one for a long while. It is a little too warped for me to get my mind around it. It’s great thought food, though.
Sounds crackpot and like idle speculation. Without the math, it is just an idea and the math has to explain everything that Einstein does and the stuff he doesn’t consistently. Lots of researchers with theories. An article and a few minutes of attention sounds more like a means to obtain funding.
Augmenting Einstein to fill gaps like tying gravity into his theories is Nobel Prize type stuff and you getting an equal sized pedestal and statue next to Einstein’s.
Pass the mushrooms dude…
I know, man.
This really caught my attention:
“three dimensions of time and then only one single dimension of space, instead of the three spatial dimensions of time and one dimension of space.”
Word Salad with Mushroom dressing.
You’d think it was 8th grade algebra with the kids going “Let’s relabel x,y,z as time1, 2 and 3 and call time ‘depth’ Cackle! We’re genius!”
That’s what this proposal reads like.
I’m hoping “Weird Science Monday” will replace Markley’s Monday.
Time to re-read Heinlein’s “The Number of the Beast” which featured 3 space and 3 time dimensions.
It is always a good time to reread “The Number of the Beast.”
Does this “theory” make testable predictions?
Or is this working out how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?
Already debunked word salad. The actual paper makes Star Trek technobabble look reasonable.
