Itzhak Bars

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Itzhak Bars is a theoretical physicist at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. In 2007, Bars presented a theory concerning the fundamental laws of physics. According to Bars' theory, time may not have only one dimension (past/future), but may have two separate dimensions instead.

Humans normally perceive physical reality as four dimensional, i.e. three-dimensional space (up/down, back/forth and side-to-side), and one dimensional time (past/future). Bars' theory proposes a six-dimensional universe, comprised of four-dimensional space and two-dimensional time.

Physicist Joe Polchinski, at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics at UC Santa Barbara, has said “Itzhak Bars has a long history of finding new mathematical symmetries that might be useful in physics... This two-time idea seems to have some interesting mathematical properties.” Quoted from Psyorg.com article below.

On 13th October 2007 New Scientist magazine featured as it's cover-story a two-page article about Itzhak Bars' theory.
