Abstract

In the History of Ideas, a succession of philosophical and scientific achievements, concerning the concept of space and its dimensionality, were essential to contribute, after a long period, to the theoretical possibility of thinking physical time with more than one dimension. Meanwhile, such a progress brought with it the expectation that one can either understand the role of dimensionality in the World or disclose how certain physical phenomena depend on it. Some of these issues are sketched throughout the text, as well as those remarkable moments in the History of Science where important contributions were made in order to give a satisfactory answer to the following inescapable question: -- How many dimensions does time have?<br />Comment: 22 pp. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:2101.12167
