Multiple Dimensions of Time
The discussion explores the theoretical possibility of a universe with multiple dimensions of time, positing that such a scenario does not contain any logical contradictions. Depending on how God creates these time dimensions and their interrelations, our perception of time could vary greatly. The idea of a universe with discrete units of time, akin to taxi cab geometry, is presented as a potential framework, implying we may perceive time as a flow without recognizing its underlying structure. Ultimately, the nature of time in such a universe would depend on God's design and choice.
