Shaky’s view of Time
Look at the illustration below, this is a two-dimensional object that is a representation of a three-dimensional object, a cube, projected onto two-dimensionals. Lets call this a dimensional shadow of a three-dimensional object onto a two-dimensional plane.
I have given a lot of thought to how time could be space, and the main problem is that time doesn’t feel like space. I believe that this is the case because we only experience time as a dimensional shadow, similar to how the illustration below looks like it has space but doesn’t. Therefore, what we call time is really the fourth-dimension projected onto this three-dimensional plane known as the universe.
What do you think?

I see what your saying, though when I think of time I think of it like a spiral that is in constant movement...ever pushing forward...and not just one spiral but multitudes of them considering what reality you may be in.....I guess my concept of time is a little screwy...hahahahah..like spiral.
It's quite hard to let go of the idea of 'time' as an entity, yet it's also quite an elusive concept, and it only seems normal because it is pervasive.
Even the moving of the hands of a clock is simply a spatial development.
I don't know, so far I'd say Shaky's view of time is rather ... shaky.
Its interesting you should say that time does'nt feel like space, when space itself does'nt feel like space. Unless you mean to say, you can 'feel' emptiness.
If this dimensional shadow theory holds true, then time itself is (to quote debbiejo) a 'pretty box'
I think of time as a multidimensional lattice...Kinda like a box stuffed with balloons until there is no room or space left in it...and depending on what choices you make pulls you through one line or lattice to the next...like multiple dimensions...Time is just a force pulling through...
Sorry, I don't have pictures of spirals....or a box of balloons...

Ya, I told him I liked to mix religion, philosophy and science together, I guess, he served me a curve ball. The only problem is, Pandora's box is mythology, not philosophy.

But it is like that ! Thats how it is are considered in physics today !
In the theory of relativity, the time is taken as a fourth coordinate, and this way we can consider the universe as being four-dimensional, so we can imagine the universe as a three dimensional volume, projected in the time dimension. But you knew that !
And time is hard to explain because we view it from the inside looking out...It would be much easier to explain if we were on the outside looking in...If that makes since...
