"A measurement in any one direction"...that is the number one definition of dimension. First and foremost, all dimensions are directional, so I think in that sense, time qualifies as a dimension.

The $64 dollar question is: Is time the same kind of dimension as space? (and in how many directions can it flow?) I believe that time, space and energy are related spatially, for that is the way SRT and GR describe them, and "I'm on the instruments" ie I'm looking at the experimental veracity of the SRT GR concept which is as solid right now a brick outhouse.

I fully realize that one of the hazards of using the S7 space model is that time may in some way be fundamentally different dimensionally from spatial or energy based (non-dimensionality).

However the fact that uniting such a strange triad as space, energy and time has been so successful, to me indicates that however the universe works, the bottom line is that the interactions of space, time and energy can be CORRECTLY defined within the 7-space concept.

By the way, this is really profound; that all these seemingly different entities (dimensions) interact to produce a geometric universe...but they do.

I think the explanation is quite simple and boils down to: Varying energy densities in multidimensional waves resulting from the momentum of GR interact to define all the other "dimensions" we observe.

I felt the writer had a good grasp of cosmological problems, and I could sense his frustration that other scientists fail to see the importance of eternal existence to universal stability. I've had exchanges with some of the finest scientists in the world, and none to date has done more than question me on some technical details...certainly not the conceptual thrust of my scientific arguments. People are listening, and the evidence is piling up in such a way that I believe within ten years, the dual universe will be an unquestioned reality.

Dualism and eternal existence are embedded in the SRT GR concept, and because the 7-D and up universe answers so many questions I'm solidly on the side of Einstein, Plato, Aristotle...and Isaiah, who said in the book which bears his name: "The mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed, but my mercy shall not depart from thee, saith the Lord which hath mercy on thee".

On my sites home page is a brief clip on the math of S7, the "Seven Sphere". Look for the underlined "S7" in the second paragraph of the introduction, click, and find a brief clip on the models geometric foundation.
