An esoteric I have known for some time, seems to be always short of time. Keeping himself ever busy, he wishes if the days had more than merely twenty four hours, so that he could accomplish all that he conjured to. In a lighter mood, I, once casually mentioned to him, that he could be endowed with days comprising of more than 24 hours, provided he accepts the existence of the multi-dimensional time as a reality.
That was a long time ago and I myself had little understanding of a dimensions. I have even less now. But, lately it appeared to me that even inadvertently, I may have stated a real phenomena. And thus began my futile quest for understanding time.
In the scientific consideration, if time dimension is not linear, nor it be cyclical, then our hypothesis– ‘it exists in different dimensions in a different way’ appears rational. My newly purported hypothesis further gets strengthened with the current discoveries of Modern Physics - “The dimension of Space-Time is curved under influence of gravity”. Some laboratory experiments together with astro-data proved it too; although the scientists are still debating about the number of other dimensions - from 6 to 30+, yet generally they concur about the existence of other dimensions.
Yet, what leads to excitement is the development of the concept called, “BRANES”. Branes are the lengths of any object inside a dimension which could be calculated using mathematical models. This concept - not a proven principle – is used to explain may many hitherto fore unexplained phenomena in the universe. But suppose it was valid, then what happens to time in other dimensions? Also arises the most important question – “Can time transcend dimensions?”
To elaborate, suppose time was linear and therefore existed in each dimension exactly the way in our dimensions, then it will be possible to influence it the way it can be in our dimensions. Therefore there should be relationship between our dimensions and other dimensions. But suppose time was independent in every dimension – which currently appears to be the case as the length of Branes in each calculable dimension appear to be different, then it could provide answer to our dilemma of time being cyclical or linear. However, the methodology of its transcendences across dimensions still needs to be established.
Will such a hypothesis change our understanding of what we perceive about Laws of Karma, Dynamic Nature of Universe and the Origins of Universe itself? Could TIME be a central server serving the requests from different nodes (Dimensions)?
