How would it change scientific thought

Well if there is actually more then one dimension of time which we cant see and that they were particals of time like how were made of matter

I don't think you really can understand what it would be like if something was made of time- if you think about a dimension as a direction (I know this is quite a big oversimplification) by definition it can't really compose anything; it's like saying something was made of 'up'.

And what exactly is "time" made of? :erm:

Personally I'd argue that time is made of an infinite amount of dimensions acting as one whixh create a drag effect on space which explains entropy. But not meny people would agree

Its as good a theory of time as any othet

A theory requires extensive peer review and repeated experimental observations. What you've said meets none of that.

You don't really know what time is by physic's definition, right?

Whatever it is that you're smoking, I want to know where I can get it?

Sorry but it is a hypothesis at best.
I think we can all agree that Physics is just made up crap.

I'm... not sure you understand time. Not even close.

No. Google it. It even has a Wikipedia page.
Time does not exist; there is no time particle. Time was invented by humans (the Romans), who wanted to measure how long it took to do something. They filled containers with water, and made holes in different pieces of metal and put them in the water, and saw that they sank at different rates. They made time from this; it is how time is 'made' in the world and the massive clock in Greenwhich is based on this. The universe is not full of time, because there is no such thing as time.

Well it is. It's just stupid when you get down to it. Scientists are just making all this crap up now.

Uh... Well, from what I've studied, time isn't actually a particle, it's more like a factor of how much things "change" compared to others. Einstein's relativity theory proved that the amount of change you can percieve depends on which point of reference you pick and the speed of such systems (the closer you get to the speed of light, the slower these changes occur from the perspective of the point of reference picked).

My English is crap, so I don't know if I actually explained it correctly. Anyways just as another used said, Google is your friend.
