2. Multiple time dimensions - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_time_dimensions

   Itzhak Bars has proposed models of a two-time physics, noting in 2001 that "The 2T-physics approach in d + 2 dimensions offers a highly symmetric and unified version of the phenomena described by 1T-physics in d dimensions." [4] [5] F-theory, a branch of modern string theory, describes a 12-dimensional spacetime having two dimensions of time ...

3. Four-dimensionalism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-dimensionalism

   Unlike the four dimensionalist, the three dimensionalist considers time to be a unique dimension that is not analogous to the three spatial dimensions: length, width and height. Whereas the four dimensionalist proposes that objects are extended across time, the three dimensionalist adheres to the belief that all objects are wholly present at ...

4. B-theory of time - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-theory_of_time

   The B-theory of time, also called the "tenseless theory of time", is one of two positions regarding the temporal ordering of events in the philosophy of time.B-theorists argue that the flow of time is only a subjective illusion of human consciousness, that the past, present, and future are equally real, and that time is tenseless: temporal becoming is not an objective feature of reality.

5. A series and B series - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_series_and_B_series

   In the first mode, events are ordered as future, present, and past.Futurity and pastness allow of degrees, while the present does not. When we speak of time in this way, we are speaking in terms of a series of positions which run from the remote past through the recent past to the present, and from the present through the near future all the way to the remote future.

6. Eternalism (philosophy of time) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/.../Eternalism_(philosophy_of_time)

   A flow-of-time theory with a strictly deterministic future, which nonetheless does not exist in the same sense as the present, would not satisfy common-sense intuitions about time. Some have argued that common-sense flow-of-time theories can be compatible with eternalism, for example John G. Cramer’s transactional interpretation. Kastner ...

7. Perdurantism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perdurantism

   Perdurantism or perdurance theory is a philosophical theory of persistence and identity. [1] The debate over persistence currently involves three competing theories—one three-dimensionalist theory called "endurantism" and two four-dimensionalist theories called "perdurantism" and "exdurantism".

8. An Experiment with Time - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Experiment_with_Time

   The second half develops a theory to try to explain them. Dunne's starting point is the observation that the moment of "now" is not described by science. Contemporary science described physical time as a fourth dimension and Dunne's argument led to an endless sequence of higher dimensions of time to measure our passage through the dimension below.

9. Philosophy of space and time - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy_of_space_and_time

   The earliest recorded philosophy of time was expounded by the ancient Egyptian thinker Ptahhotep (c. 2650–2600 BC) who said: . Follow your desire as long as you live, and do not perform more than is ordered, do not lessen the time of the following desire, for the wasting of time is an abomination to the spirit...
