Hear me out on this…
Instead of going forwards or backwards in time, what would happen if I went sideways? Would that take me to an alternate timeline?

I don't think time is that linear that direction would matter, but if it did I am not sure this would accomplish anything. If the multiverse is real would you really want to change things so much for your own reality to be so different than the life your used to?...

5 AntwortenThat’s usually the explanation for alternate reality stories yeah. ‘A world where the Germans won the war’ ‘A world where Michael Keaton was never Batman’ Etc.

Assuming that time is the 4th dimension, and we already live in a 3d world, time is only one dimension in itself, which just means that its an infinitely long and infinitely thin line. You might have to ascend to a higher dimension but even then I don't think it would be possible.

This is like an extra subplot in my long-running story; superbeings from an otherworldly planet trying to understand eternalism and other time travel theories.

Isn’t that called a time warp? its just a jump to the left…….. then a step to the right (XD not sorry I couldn’t help myself)
-
That or you’d break the walls of space and time and cease to exist

Well if time is straight like a line then technically you would bounce between the “walls” of time. But if it’s a circle, you would eventually be in the exact opposite time from where you started. You would cross from one side of the circle, through the middle, and to the other side.

if time is linear, then going sideways would just mean walking into a wall

There's a generally-accepted theory of time and the 4th dimension, so let me sum it up. the 4th dimension, in theory, begins to "loop" and resembles our own 1st dimension, or just a line. This is why time is linear. The 5th dimension is like 2D space, a bunch of lines right next to each other, forming a plane. Each coordinate on this 5D plane would be a place in time, in a certain timeline. (X axis is time, Y axis would be timeline(s) in this example.) So, in this theory of higher dimensions (certainly not the only and maybe not the correct theory), going sideways would take you towards a different timeline. Consider this my poorly-timed Panzer post, I'm too lazy to make my own.

If the alternate timeline theory is true, then yes, going sideways in time would most likely result in jumping timelines. If the paradox theory is true, then.. Question mark?

Sounds like a topic for a sci-fi movie

Quite frankly no idea. But I would imagine it’s either a alternate timeline or just be in an empty void with no concept of time.
