I believe that time is multidimensional.
The only dimension that has an ordering is one dimension.
So in other words, if I say to you, Joe has two cigars, Eric has none.
Joe has two cigars, but Eric has three glasses.
Joe has one glass and two cigars.
Well, now it's not clear because Eric has more glasses than Joe.
But Joe has more cigars.
So in two dimensions, we no longer can say this is better than that for things where you have more of one and less of another.
In one dimension, there's an arrow.
We call it, it's like a well-ordered set or something.
In two dimensions, all bets are off.
The number of dimensions in total is going to be either five or seven.
