11 from 42


Now they're saying Time isn't really a dimension, which means that our 11-dimensional Universe is actually just a 10-dimensional Universe. It's a minor technical distinction, to be sure--since the [entirely hypothetical] 42-dimensional model, for instance, now has only 41 dimensions, and the 16 is left with 15, et cetera, because most of the multi-dimensional models have always counted Time as one (1). Now it is zero (0).
As my friend, scientist BG Tripletan-Berger put it, "Instead of thinking of Time as a course, like roast beef or mung beans, you must think of it as seasoning, like salt." Or even Thyme.
