s2 = x2 + y2 + z2 - t2 - u2 - v2

So goes the universe, if this mathematician's hypothesis proves correct. Unlike string theory, this one seems to use comparatively straightforward mathematics and makes predictions which should be testable by the upcoming Large Hadron Collider. I think. Remember folks, I can't even manage to play a mathematician on TV.

So time is actually a negative of all the dimensions of a coordinate system, instead of just one? Or is it just the three dimensions, regardless of which coordinate system is being used?

Or am I on the wrong track entirely? I'm barely past differential equations, myself.

Okay, see, I can't tell the difference between this and "Timecube".

I'm not sure - it almost seemed that time was more a negative by convention so they could delineate between the past and the future.

Of course, I understood roughly the first sentence and a half of this article, so I'm probably wrong enough that the fabric of space-time is unravelling somewhere due to my explanation.
