Paper proposes quantum mechanics with two dimensions of time
A new mathematical proposal says quantum mechanics can stay consistent if the universe has two dimensions of time instead of one. That is a direct challenge to the standard one-time-dimension framework, but it is not an experimental result.
What’s established
The paper’s construction has drawn attention partly because follow-up discussion described its proposer as 14 years old. The discussion so far is about whether the mathematics and physical framework make sense; no tested prediction or experimental validation has been reported.
