That's quite a claim (potentially - I note your qualification!

What work have you done to convince at least yourself that any overlap between your idea and GR is free of inconsistencies?

What i was trying to prove was that time can warp, and for anything to warp there must be at least 2 dimensions for it to warp in.
Well, as Fr. Wayne has already noted, GR does not require that time 'can warp'. But perhaps it's a matter of definition - can you show, mathematically, that 'warping time' (defined mathematically) is either inconsistent with GR, or requires a second dimension of time (or both)?

I have not heard of single dimension warps. (If there is such a thing please let me know so i can revise some of my veiws on space-time. ) Thanks for the link Ill look more through it and try to figure out how GR uses a single time dimenson. Though, could the equations only work because we are not use to having a higher dimension? Meaning perhaps the equations were built for a 4D universe, so they would work for a 4D universe.
There are many counter-intuitive things that follow from the GR equations; 'a 4D universe' is indeed the home which GR presumes, but many are the traps for the unwary (or ill-informed) concerning what this means, in 'reality'.

Where maby if we tryed calculationg somthing for a higher dimension the equations would fail. (Ill keep looking into it)
Go for it!
