Imaginary Time and its Applications to Predicting the Future. OK, new material. The other day, my excellent friend (whom I will keep anonymous) quoted the good Doctor Hawking himself by stating that one of the biggest frustrations in physics was attempting to explain the abstraction of imaginary time. My preliminary understanding (and response) at the time was that imaginary time was nothing more but a clever way of organizing event space into a complex number plane or Riemann number Sphere. So what is this? If we imagine time as linear or 1 dimensional, we are able to render what is commonly known as a timeline where we are only able to record events that have either previously occurred or that are occurring. We are however unable to record events that have not already happened but because weve assumed time is linear, we are able to approximate it using analysis of previously occurred events. This leaves the margin of error we can represent as theta. Reflect that angle along the y-axis in that point in time, we obtain the margin of tolerance for past events to lead us to our present time. In this time cone, we notice that as either tolerance decreases or margin of error increases, the probability of events decrease however this can be decreased when we increase the range of our timeline (compare your lifespan versus the lifespan of a star). This is just linear time. Imaginary time on the other hand assumes time as non-linear. has have the real timeline represented by the real number axis and assume all non-real events are complex numbers. Finally we represent origin as present time. This allows us to take complex number event A and event B to deduce event C by simply multiplying A and B. Now dont be confused. Events A, B and C are not really at points A,B and C but they can be represented as such. Im going to research this further before I post anything new. Ill be sure to provide diagrams too.
