Is time linear? If it is then couldn't you view the universe as 2 demensional. the first being the physical and the second being time. And if time is linear then what does that mean for free will. Or is it the other way around?

The Second Dimension is the PLANE, such as a square. It contains an infinite number of straight lines. In Time, the Second Dimension represents the Present. The trajectory of moments in the First Dimension (Future) appears like a disk or revolution.
In the second dimension we have the Rational numbers, based on three points, visualized on the plane with a vertical and horizontal axis. The number plane was known to the Pythagoreans and called the Chi:
Rational numbers are produced by division in the positive field and multiplication in the negative field. Zero is the center of the CHI, which for Pythagoras and Plato was the tool of the Demiurge, the Creator. The fields contain only the fractions and products inside the ten numbers. Division is the basis of thinking, multiplication the synergy of the soul.

I'm weird. Just work through that and we'll all be fine.

Hey.....I copied that off of some other website.....it has to be true!!!...So, what happens when we turn back our clocks and adjust for daylight savings....I mean really then what are we doing to the linear beast that we refer to as time? Erasing a bt of it? Time wouldn't exist if we didn't exist....it's all theoretical.

and no - living in a 4 dimentional universe does not mean you are living in a predetermined way. time and 4 dimentions have nothing to do with choice, and neither the future nor the past are fixed. the best you can do with either is talk about probabilities of what wll or has happened. and it is only our limited perception that put more emphasis on being any more sure about the past rather than the future. In true 4 dimentions, there should be no difference between the positive axis (presumably the future, but who is to say if that is an accurate guess, no one human, that is for sure!) and the negative one (the past?). fatalism is based off the assumption that since there should be no difference between these two axis and we like to think an already determined past exists, therefore the future is already determined too. but in reality the past is not determined and is not fixed. It not only changes, but it fades into a greater and greater array of things that might could have happened the further back we get from now, just as the likelyhood of what happens in the furture gets less and less predictable the further you get from now.
Besides that - we are only dealing with a shadow of the 4th dimention. a square and a shadow of a cube are two different things, though they may occasionally look similar, and therefor I submit that the passage of time may in fact be nothing at all like actually moving forward on the positive axis of the 4th dimention, though it may resemble it in certain situations.

as far as the past not being fixed thing, I did that quite extensively in another thread which I will now search for...
ok, I think [Old link] is it

I am both stupid and lazy, and whatever the other one was....I'm saying that time exists because we perceive it.....what does a cat, or a dog, or a dragonfly think about "time"??
