#time people (@isst, @JSTS_TimeStudy), especially physicists: what say you?
We have 3 space dimensions but only one dimension of time. Why is there just one time? What would happen if there were more time dimensions? A short 🧵that requires some math. (You can probably follow w/o math as well) 1/16

Our measure of time is an expression of Earth and its imperceptible motion; as the planet rotates slowly beneath us, so do our clocks turn. The second is our smallest unit within this system, historically defined as 1/86400th of a day — /1

Containing a blend of original text and information derived from official time standard reports, Circular T: A Collection of Uncertainties explores a spectrum of anomalous temporal phenomena. ⏱ Join Emily DiCarlo virtually on Wed, Nov 4 for a reading. artmuseum.utoronto.ca/progra…
Observing the results of the #USAElections2020 unfolding in slow motion is so difficult. Democracy is grounded in slow #rhythms that go against the current expectation for quick fixes. This election is a temporal ordeal that will test a society’s capacity to tolerate #waiting.

Petriverse of the day # 63 When holding a #stone, one is at once holding the object of an ancient world, an evolutionary becoming, and a material in the present. #Time, in this sense, is not linear, but embedded in our environments, and embodied in our flesh” --Kate Wright

Petriverse of the day #23 Compositions of collected stones are albums of the local rock record. All 'work' is ludic (+ s-t ludicrous) Pierre Jardin “plays the rock record" hoping to needle passersby into grooving to The Stones.

‘If you try to get your hands on time,’ said the physicist Julian Barbour, ‘it’s always slipping through your fingers. People are sure that it’s there but they can’t get hold of it. Now my feeling is that they can’t get hold of it because it isn’t there at all.’ #time #chronemics
