I had a good post to put here but lost it because I forgot to go the final step. Dick, I know that time is usually assumed when talking about dimensions. But why do we have to assume that there is only one time? Especially given the evidence for sum over histories. I think we may be actually catching the split in the time stream. We never get to view a single instant but always have to view some large order of Planck times. So, when we look closely, we see the many paths that the particle travels, not just the path that we get as a statistical result when we are done summing. Where do all the other paths go, if not into other time streams? The other time streams are imaginary, but as you said, imaginary numbers are still real things. The other time streams are real places, you just can't get there from here without ftl. Please challenge me on this many worlds hypothesis, as I see it as central to my intent. And critical to a new genesis of physics and even morality. Thanks for being here, Richard
