Do We Live in a 10-Dimensional Hologram?

The Romans weren't into such nonsense. In Rome it was 1 o'clock when the sun rose, and 6 o'clock at noon, 12 o'clock when the sun set 

WTF is it with YOU and Rome these days?

The fall of  (TeH Greatness)  of Rome occurred well over a thousand and a half years ago.

I thought there were eleven dimensions and all but three were trapped in a quark.

I would prefer primes as well.

Prime dimensions. That was awesome.

I also disagree with calling "time" a dimension.

In fact, I disagree with a lot of ideas about "time". People treat "time" like a tangible object, just because we gave it a name. "Travel in time" "Bending time" counting it as a dimension, which otherwis were just directional markers, when did time become a direction?
Then they just roll with it - and base tons of research ON the assumption that time is an object and a dimension and a place in some country, that we can travel to...

So, what would you label it instead? How would you characterise time?

What is a dimension, to you?

who is odeon!

A better question is "what is odeon?"

Bugger it to hell..

I read this earlier, and it triggered off a few lines of thought on electroweak symmetry breaking I found interesting as hell to pursue. Only now I can't remember what the FUCK it was...

Don't you just hate it when you get a good idea and then forget it before it can be toyed with further..

Time is whatever we name the difference between one physical event and another. Dimensions are directional cues.
It's all arbitrary.

Why don't you include "hope" as a dimension? Or "life"? Or gravity? Why is "time" special? Imho, "time" doesn't even deserve a name It is arbitrary, and it is a human trait to regard something as untangible as "time" as a real physical object "let's travel through time! Yes - right through it, as if it was a ginger-bread dough!"

Perhaps travelling ALONG time would be a much better metaphor.

It is a direction. In the case of matter with positive mass, forwards.

Forwards?
What IS forwards?

Do you mean ---------------------------------------> this direction? From left to right? Because that is the way we read? Our eyes? Our culture?
OR
do you mean forwards in terms of pedal locomotion? What if I U-turn? What is forwards then? What if two people walk past each others? Which one is walking forwards?



It's all arbitrary... Time doesn't go in a direction "forwards" or "backwards", in fact, time NEVER went "backwards" for comparison, meaning time only goes one direction.
If there is no white, can there be black? If there is no up, can there be down?
If time only does one thing, can there be an alternative thing for it to ever do? No!

Time is fleshed out - by us, people, by our culture and our perception - fleshed out way beyond its real nature - which is just a measurement of one motion compared to another motion :I

I guess this puts me in disagreement with most physicists in the world, but I just cannot accept that time is trivialized like that - we travel through it like a tunnel? Tunnel made of cement? We travel alongside it, like a railing? A railing made of brass or stone or wood? It travels forwards. Why can't it travel sideways? How does it travel? How can time afford plane tickets, if it does not have a job?
I know I make it very silly now, but... that how I see it - giving time all of these properties

You can as well write a poem about it 

Gungan går upp! - och ned.
sitt nu upp får du åka med!
Stjärnorna dansar kring
liksom vi i ett nött ingenting.
Marknadens sång är slut
och det är som det var förut.
Gungan går ned - och vi
längtar upp allt som gått oss förbi.

Jag hör röster
som ropar ut -
Allt är nu sålt!
Allt är nu slut!
Allt sålt...allt slut!

Men hit med mörkret drar
några toner från det som var
Hör du ett positiv
och det liv som det blåser till liv?

Köp allt vad du vill ha!
Ta nu för dej, det går bra!
Gör fynd! Dröm vad du vill!
För allt är ditt och allt finns till...

Det är bara en gång
som din dröm sjunger rent
och sen är det för sent
och din längtan blir lång...

Uppåt i evighet
stiger smattret från en trumpet!
Röd är din rymdraket
och en trumvirvel allt det du vet...
så låt dej sväva nu!
Det finns ingen så rik som du...
Gungan går upp! - och den
kanske aldrig går neråt igen!

Nej, jag drömde
Allt är som förr.

Natten har stängt
drömmarnas dörr...
Allt blir som förr.

Gungan går upp! - och ned.
Och vi måste ju åka med.
Stjärnorna dansar kring
liksom vi i ett nött ingenting.
