In two prior posts, I explored how different authors and physicists have considered the possibility of multiple dimensions of time. See: Multiple Dimensions of Time and Multiple Dimensions of Time - Part 2.


As unusual as this topic may seem, I'm reading more about how many scientists have considered multiple dimensions of time to be a possibility. Just recently, another article was published this past week in which authors Andrzej Dragan et al. develop an extension of special relativity in 1+3 dimensional spacetime to account for superluminal inertial observers and show that such an extension rules out the conventional dynamics of mechanical point-like particles and forces one to use field-theoretic framework.
