| Feb 13, 2016 at 19:23 | comment | added | Mike Scott | Read Greg Egan's Orthogonal trilogy, which goes into far more detail than can be managed in a Stackexchange answer. It's set in a universe where there are four dimensions, any of which can act as a space or time dimension. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthogonal_(novel) | |

| Feb 13, 2016 at 0:41 | comment | added | unknown | "People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect. But actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it’s more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey… stuff." Sorry it had to be done. | |
| Feb 12, 2016 at 23:29 | comment | added | sdrawkcabdear | Would there be any was for an object or information to move along the second time axis? Time is also weird because we only can move in one direction along it, were x, y ,z we can go either way. | |
| Feb 12, 2016 at 21:27 | comment | added | Cort Ammon | I don't know if I will get time to put together a full answer. Such conceptualizing is quite a broad topic. I will however, recommend studying the philosophy of "identity." Its a brutally hard concept to pin down, once you try to depart from the simplest of day to day cases, but in particular, the concepts of perdurable vs. endurable would be very applicable. Those who believe in perdurable identity talk about a 4 dimensional identity, so it may be extended to 5 dimensions. | |
