Well, I suppose you could say it predicts the importance of other time dimensions. But oh well.

Well, it's not supposed to predict anything. It puts forth a reason why they would be important if they did exist.

My theory. I was in the shower earlier. I was bored, so I started thinking about all the things I had recently learned. I had just got done reading a book called Strange matters, and I remember it said that nobody could really think of what physical importance multiple time dimensions could have upon our universe. I do realise that the book is a few years old, but meh, and I did do some research on Google, but I didn't see anything that seemed to reflect my theory. If someone already came up with this (like what happened with my theory as to spontaneous human combustion!), I'd like to know. If I'm so utterly and totaly wrong, please inform me nicely, I'd like to learn about how I'm thinking about this wrongly. So here it is, and I know it's not well thought out, but I thought the thinking would go alot faster if I exposed it to people who knew trillion times more about the subject. Perhaps there are multiple time dimentions, but we are moving through them so rapidly(like passing the repetative white lines broken by ashphalt on the road), say about 3.3 x 10^-44 seconds, that we're having a hard time detecting it? According to http://www.physlink.com/Education/AskExperts/ae598.cfm, that is Planck's time. Maybe it explains why there is a Planck's length aswell, seeing as space and time are intertwined (it's "spacetime" nowadays, isn't it?). It seems otherwise, you could just keep on getitng smaller and smaller. It also gives a bit of proof for the "duality" thoery I read about in the book I mentioned earlier. What do you all think about my "brainstorming"? Like I said, I just hope it's not something someone already came up with, because it sounds pretty simple. =[

Ah, I get it now. I thought what he was saying was pretty farfetched. Too bad I'll never be able to tell him..

A while ago, I was discussing some stuff with a random person in this chat, and somehow our conversation drifted off to not trusting your sources. As an example, he told me not to beleive that the forests are our main source of air. He said that salt and Co2 (I think) create air when they meet. Since salt is running rampant in our seas, this, if it's true, could very well make trees obsolete as it were, in terms of us needing air from them. I'm only talking about air here, I know trees are important for a whole slurr of other reasons, but I'm only talking about air here, breatheable air. So my question: Does this chemical reaction exist? Something like it? If so, would it be enough to keep us going without the rainforests and such?
