With my project I insist that it's because you and I derive our energy from thermodynamic chemical processes which move towards higher entropy, and that is the way most physicists describe the timeline of the universe: the beginning had Rob Bryantonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18215892812705188148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3995480544618201142.post-80921977804259964812012-12-06T07:56:06.625-06:002012-12-06T07:56:06.625-06:00I always wondered: if time is a spatial dimension,...I always wondered: if time is a spatial dimension, where did we get the momentum to move along it in the first place? If time is like the traditional three dimensions and we are travelling through it, some force must have been applied somewhere, no?

Which is, that time must have some dimensionality to it to behave as it does in Einstein's theory of relativity. Whereby time slows the faster an object moves (relative a stationary observer.)

Time in 'n' spatials dimensions is a byproduct of linear 'n+1' dimensional movement, and accordingly time within a given dimension is theroretically independant of time in any other dimension.

I won't pretend that I can actually visualise what these dimensions look like because that would simply be hubris. However, working up to them in a logical manner at least gives me the illusion of understanding, which is good enough for me.N Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436151448525539734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3995480544618201142.post-654970422515227382007-01-30T19:42:00.000-06:002007-01-30T19:42:00.000-06:00I've never understood why time was singled out for...I've never understood why time was singled out for special treatment. It has always seemed so odd, but I've assumed that trained physicists must have some rationale. It's nice to see someone willing to embrace what is, I think, the most reasonable position. Your approach to imagining 10 dimensions is wonderful. Nice work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
