The problem of time is that we never seem to have enough. One day I pondered why this is so. Below is my conclusion.
Our activities take place in bounded segments of time: days, weeks, years, life spans. These bounded segments are also finite. This is a result of time being one dimensional.
Now consider the Koch curve, a well known fractal. This curve exists in a bounded segement of space, but the curve is infinite in length. This curve exists in slightly more than one dimension, or easily within 2 dimensions if we stick to integers.
Thus if time were in more than one dimension we could have sufficient within our bounded segments.
