Abstract
The influence of possible additional (hidden) components of time on a body's motion in the field of a gravitational wave is considered. Contrary to the one-time theory, oscillations of the body “height” and “width” sizes in a plane perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation occur independently from one another. This peculiarity can be used for the experimental check of emission of gravitational waves with distinct time trajectories in cosmic cataclysms. An interesting analogy between electromagnetic and gravitation quantities is discussed in the context of time multidimension.
