Don't worry about spoiling Agent Smith's (not Banno's) topic — Alkis Piskas
Ahoy Scotsman! Why do you think that non-linear time is associated with multiple time dimensions? Time can be circular in one dimension. On the microscale virtual particles states in the vacuum are represented by a circle, a vacuum bubble. Virtual photons or virtual particle/antiparticle pairs, are represented by closed one particle propagators in Feynman diagrams. In a sense such a particle rotates in spacetime and it can be released from it's closed periodic prison by real particles, like an electron and a positron can excite the closed photon loop, giving two real photons (which is called the annihilation of an electron by a positron), and two photons can excite the virtual electron loop to create an electron and a positron (or another pair). It were these loops that were the only material presence at the singularity. Time went back and forth. Then... bang! Freedom!
Ahoy Earther!
Because the meaning of the word linear, in the mathematical sense, is one dimensional, lineland,
just like 2D space is notionally called flatland
You cannot get a 1D circle, a circle is 2D.
If space and time are not separable then it follows that in a 1D spacetime you cannot have 2D time.

Closed time loops are a possibility in general relativity. — Raymond

These are all states found in 3 dimensions, not 1.Virtual photons or virtual particle/antiparticle pairs, are represented by closed one particle propagators in Feynman diagrams. — Raymond
By the way, there are two books Brian Greene wrote. I think the story about the rotating bucket is written in The Fabric. — Raymond

Good. Thanks. :smile: Thanks god, I have been justified, at least partly! :smile: (Really, now. I'm not a theist. Note the small "g" again ... — Alkis Piskas
I don't know if you realized ... We have completely destroyed this topic! — Alkis Piskas
Yeah, but at which hour?, which minute?, which second?, which nanosecond......planck time...ad nauseam, did Banno write this? — universeness
I think that basic lesson in physics, the one on working with errors, should be compulsory.
universeness, to the day will do. — Banno
Logic is temporal — universeness
Agent Smith, you have some familiarity with language games, and the errors that arise when they are mixed willy-nilly. What do you think of ↪universeness ? — Banno
Truth is Wittgenstein, nec caput nec pedes. — Agent Smith
Logic is temporal, as logic is an aspect of thought and thought is temporal, because it takes time to think! Go ahead, have an atemporal thought, how long does it take for one of your neurons to fire? Probably faster than a day, but certainly a 'small time packet' will be involved.....so temporal. — universeness
Then you will have no trouble identifying for us the temporal elements in propositional calculus — Banno

Sometimes we live no particular way but our own
And sometimes we visit your country and live in your home
Sometimes we ride on your horses, sometimes we walk alone
Sometimes the songs that we hear are just songs of our own — Hunter/Garcia
