My thought process for time being a force and not a dimension is that if time were a dimension, so would magnetism and gravity. Although we have heard talk that either might be from another dimension, neither to my knowledge has actually been called a dimension. Also, the original dimension are meant to show possible directions of movement. Although time advances and moves forward, there is already a forward and backward dimension. And I think the fact that we believe that time moves forward is more of the result of a partial perception of reality, than a fact.

We already know there is such a thing as space/time, but I also believe there is magnetotime, and gravitime.

My number one ideal is that TIME NEVER STOPS. No matter what. No effect and happening can occur without the advancement of time. Black holes or singularities cannot exist if time does not exist at that location, becuase then neither rotation or gravitational forces can function to provide the effect that causes the black hole or singularity. Remember the existance we perceive is governed by time, matter and events. Take any of those three out of the equation, and there is nothing for us to perceive.

Time can rub against itself, but its totally teflon or wispy in effect and will slip by or through other time with little or no pause. However, if there is any matter or material mixed in or other forces mixed in with that time, they will be eroded by the time friction caused by the two forces colliding. Think of it is spontaneous accelleration. For a runner to get a time that is squared, he'd usually have to lap himself fast enough to race beside the after image of himself. If he were to run fast enough to run beside two past after images of himelff, he's now cubed time. In both cases, he has to sustain that fast speed to maintain the illusion. Well, when two opposing time forces collide, time squares very temporarily and in the opposite direction. To further the runner illustration, imagine he now decides to run at that same speed around the world, makes it around and rests for a moment. Now if he were able to run back and eventually run directly into the after image the is now approaching his destination. If he runs through the after image, he will appear to be moving at and through himself at a squared speed again. But as soon as he has passed through, he is just going a normal, unsquared, speed again. It is for this reason, that any matter that is mixed in with opposing time pressure is that it erodes even faster. In effect, the matter is being exposed to spontaneuous time squared. Also, this is kind of an analogy, but hydraulic pressure ratios affect the various mixtures of time and matter. In a time/matter mix, the larger the matter of a time segment is, the more it will erode or pulverize a smaller piece of matter attached to or permeated with another segment of time.

You don't have to explain why time can do something to itself, because time has two states, and existing date/address, and a moving impetus. the moving impetus isn't an event, its the pressure that causes time to advance, and events to occur. So time DOES affect itself.

The nice thing about thinking of time this way, is that it helps explain relativity to an extent (although, I haven't yet described what I think it ties into from the Zen perspective of the universe..(that's a whole other can of worms).
