You can speed up or slow down time by being in an extreme gravity well (a black hole) or going at relativistic speeds, near the speed of light.
Humans have sent people at relativistic speeds, as the space shuttle goes fast enough, (barely) but when you experience time slower or faster, you percieve it to be going at the same rate.
It seems what you are describing with the 3 dimentions of time is somewhat acurite, but not best described as having 3 dimentional time; because time is not spatial, it would not have a zt axis to begin with, therefore no xt or yt. Time as a dimention is very dificult to percieve in such a conventional way of thinking, trying to envision everything as being tangible, and existing inside our 3 dimentions; as time exists alongside our 3 perceivable spatial dimentions, it is intangible. I think of it as movement. Choices that are made that diverge is part of quantum mechanics; there is alot of good literature on quantum mechanics that helps to understand it, but to have a full understanding of quantum mechanics (as in to understand and visualize it as well as the workings of a vcr) is impossible, because most of its concepts are of extradimentional properties, that are intangible.
@Littlegremlin,
If timetravel back in time were posible in the future, then there would be evidense of it now, as in there would be predestination paradoxes everywhere (your little coin trick, btw if you did that there would instantly be an infinite number of those coins), and the present would be crammed full of junk from the past and future, because of so much time in the future, the number of travelings to time periods would become infinite. Perhaps it might become possible to build a machine that allows one to go back to the point in time the machine was brought online, but i think that is highly unlikely.
