broken arrow: start your temporal clocks

Traditionally, time has been seen as a single arrow — moving from past to future through the narrow gate of the present. Einstein merged this arrow with the three spatial dimensions, forming the four-dimensional spacetime continuum, where time’s rate could stretch or compress under the influence of gravity or motion — but it still had one direction.

There are now models that breaks that arrow apart. Suggesting that time itself might extend along three independent axes, just as space does.

Instead of a straight line, time becomes a cube — a volume within which past, present, and future coexist and interact.
