Abstract

Yes, this is possible. Provided that the extra temporal dimensions are compact and have a time-radius less than the current measured time limit of about $10^{-19}$s. We show, as a consequence of the holographic principle, that in today’s universe, there is a fundamental lower limit to time at about $10^{-26}$s. Having additional dimensions of time yields a simple resolution of the EPR paradox, without having to modify the rules of either quantum mechanics or special relativity. It also helps understand the origin of supra-quantum non-local correlations stronger than the Tsirelson bound. The extra time dimensions arise from a unification of gravitation and the weak force on a six dimensional space-time with signature $(3,3)$. Spontaneous symmetry breaking bifurcates the 6D universe into two overlapping 4D space-times.
