Yes timing can delay your acceleration
If it sounds like rocks in a can, or like a Diesel engine, you might be experiencing detonation, which is really bad. It is caused by poor gas and/or ignition timing too advanced. Left unfixed, it will melt holes in your pistons. To fix, get higher-octane fuel and/or retard timing
Acceleration
force =mass x acceleration therefore mass = force /acceleration and acceleration = force/mass
No evidence exists for "alternate dimensions." If they DID exist, no known theoretical framework exists in which acceleration would cause matter in our dimension to go to the other one simply acceleration. In our Universe, acceleration greater than a certain level would cause the death of organic matter. This fatal level has been achieved with death occuring, but no disappearance of the organism -- it simply dies. The idea you suggest is pure fiction, on the same level as magic gremlims.
Our genes decide what characteristics we inherit, but the environment can affect how these inherited characteristics develop, like a person could be tall but in their childhood have a poor diet which cause poor growth.
Your timing MIGHT be off if: low power, poor acceleration, poor gas mileage.
cause
Yes, if the timing chain or gears are worn, acceleration can cause the chain to jump.
poor or watered down gas or wrong ignition timing would be best place to start
If it is loose it can jump time which will cause poor performance. If it is loose it needs to be repaired immediately.
Wrong air/fuel ratio Poor atomisation of fuel Poor spark Incorrect timing of spark
Could be timing belt/chain is worn
It can if it isn't delivering enough fuel to the engine. More than likely you need to have your timing checked.
Fouled, damaged injectors or incorrect timing on fuel injector pump
Common signs are: Hesitation, poor running, valve clatter, and loss of power. A broken timing belt or timing chain can cause an engine to stop running or cause the valves to crash to the pistons.
Because they usually equate poor acceleration to poor car performance.
Poor performance, poor fuel mileage, spark knock (aka ping), hard starting, engine run on, to name a few.
