spacetime - Intuition for multiple temporal dimensions


It’s easy, relatively speaking, to develop an intuition for higher spatial dimensions, usually by induction on familiar lower-dimensional spaces. But I’m having difficulty envisioning a universe with multiple dimensions of time. Even if such a thing may not be real or possible, it seems like a good intellectual exercise. Can anyone offer an illustrative example?



Answer





  1. Several authors (in particular Itzhak Bars) have written papers about two-time-physics that should help build intuition for the topic.





  2. Infinitely many 'times' appear in integrable systems.




  3. F-Theory, which is a 12 dimensional theory, has been described as having extra temporal dimensions, however see Wikipedia.
