Depends upon how it was "broken", one would think. This gives some new
meaning to the term "time bomb."

An interesting sci-fi book on this subject is _Time Storm_, by Gordon
Dickson.

Time is the fourth dimension, or a component of it. We move through
3-dimensional space in time. Theoretically, movement through time would
take place in 5-space.
