Physicists are rethinking time—and it may be far more complex than we thought.
Dr. Gunther Kletetschka of the University of Alaska Fairbanks has proposed that time has three dimensions, just like space. In his model, the universe rests on a six-dimensional framework—three dimensions of time and three of space—with space itself emerging as a product of multi-dimensional time.
The bold theory could help explain mysteries like the exact masses of fundamental particles such as electrons and quarks—questions standard physics still can’t fully answer.
Even more intriguing, it offers a possible bridge between Einstein’s relativity and quantum mechanics, two theories that have long resisted unification. Kletetschka’s model keeps causality intact while allowing for alternative timelines and even transitions between them.
If confirmed, this “time-first” approach could bring us closer to the long-sought Theory of Everything—a single framework that unites all forces and particles in the cosmos. ⏳
