If time and space are intertwined does that mean time has multi dimensions like space. In space we can move forward or backwards, left or right and up or down, does time have equivalent dimensions… We move forward in time, the past is backwards but what would be the equivalent of left or right and up or down for time?
In: Physics
We say that space and time are intertwined as spacetime because distortions in space due to mass [what we experience as gravity] also distorts time along with it. The two can never be separated and always play off one another. This is why we say that it is the one temporal dimension of our universe of 3 spatial dimensions.
That being said, time is one dimensional. It can only move forward, or back. Time operating in any other way simply doesn’t make sense.
