Spinal Tap was right!

I think they're being generous.

Karl Pribram was, hazily, on the right track.

Some days I have more than enough trouble with three plus one!

The concept of dimensions is flawed due to the incorrectness of classical physics basic theory/foundational.

THey will find it easier to do things without the dimension of time.

So just space 3d + 6 or 7 or 8 or 9.

On a tangent: back in high school I read one of Eddington's books, and a throwaway line (*) started me wondering what a world with multiple time dimensions would look like. I wound up studying the easier question of what a 3+1D life would be in a 3+2D universe. (Some Israeli physicists published their own ideas about that, if you want to cheat and "look at the answer in the back of the book".)

Yes, you have issues with energy. (A photon on a different timeline from yours will appear to have higher frequency, but not have energy to match.)

The environment offers some sci-fi opportunities, if someone wants to try it out.

(*) I didn't understand his argument at the time and don't remember it now.

It would look like this. A day at star 1 would be a thousand years to star k.

As such time is no longer a dimensiom but a vibrating membrane or density spectrum. Hence string and quantumml rather than newtonian or einstein time space.

Bit there are realms and densities that have no time. This causes a problem similar to macroscopic heisenberg uncertainty princople or simulation theory.

Me, too, Red.

Articles like this always leave me wanting for more information. They discuss a central element to this process being the multi-dimensional structures, which are illustrated in one photo- but I'm not clear on what a more than 3-D structure is (they defined it as a cube). I'd like to know more, but a quick internet search did me no good. Interesting, though, that geometry would play such an important role in our thinking. The ancient Greeks may have been onto something.
