There Are 2 Dimensions of Time, Theoretical Physicist States

You can’t really enter into “another dimension” as science fiction would have you believe. Instead, dimensions are how we experience the world. But some aspects actually suggest to one expert, not one but two dimensions of time. If it were true, the theory could actually heal the most glaring rift in physics—between quantum mechanics and general relativity.   

That’s according to Itzhak Bars of the University of Southern California, Los Angeles. The normal three dimensions including up-down, left-right, forward-back, and space-time. In Bars’s theory, time isn’t linear, but a 2D plane in curvature interwoven throughout these dimensions and more.

Bogey?

Bogey?

Linear time has never made sense to me:
 A single dimension requires one to two points to describe it.
 Two dimensions require two to three points to describe it.
 Three dimensions require three to four...
 and the fourth dimension is a line again?

No, the fourth dimension is not a line. The fourth dimension is a collection of sequential volumes of the first three dimensions representing state, metaphorically.

I will disagree. State is true, but only as a snapshot in a linear array. It is still a time line.

However, what you say can be said of each, respectively, with the exception of the first dimension in it's discrete state (a dot) - Each is 'aware if itself, and each of the lesser dimensions contained within itself (proven, provable)... with the next step or dimension only conceptually represented...

Until time, which is where the whole thing ceases to be logically extended. Or our perception thereof is limited, even as the concept of each progressive dimension can only be theorized from the one beneath it.

No, I don't think you understand what I am describing. There is a reason it is called "space-time." Time is a representation of the sequential changes in the space's state.

For example, if I lived in a universe with one physical dimension (a line), along which I traveled, time would be a representation of me being at state 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. When talking about the universe, in all it's 3-dimensional glory, time is a just a representation of state changes within the three dimensions.

This is a generally accepted physics principle whether or think so or not.

Not two, three. That is, three dimensions of time, just as there are three dimensions of space.

Unfortunately this may mean that free will is an illusion. But then that's been theorized about before.

The only thing that matters right now is how many dimensions are in Trump's chess game. I think we're up to eleventy hundred.
