Abstract: Two-time physics (2T) is a general reformulation of one-time physics (1T) that displays previously unnoticed hidden symmetries in 1T dynamical systems and establishes previously unknown duality type relations among them. This may play a role in displaying the symmetries and constructing the dynamics of little understood systems, such as M-theory. 2T physics describes various 1T dynamical systems as different d-dimensional ``holographic views of the same 2T system in dimensions. The ``holography is due to gauge symmetries that tend to reduce the number of effective dimensions. Different 1T evolutions (i.e. different Hamiltonians) emerge from the same 2T theory when gauge fixing is done with different embeddings of d dimensions inside d+2 dimensions. Thus, in the 2T setting, the distinguished 1T which we call ``time is a gauge dependent concept. The 2T action has also a global SO(d,2) symmetry in flat spacetime, or a more general d+2 symmetry in curved spacetime, under which all dimensions are on an equal footing. This symmetry is observable in many 1T systems, but it remained unknown until discovered in the 2T formalism. 2T physics has mainly been developed in the context of particles, including spin and supersymmetry, but some advances have also been made with strings and p-branes, and insights for M-theory have already emerged. In the case of particles, there exists a general worldline formulation with background fields, as well as a field theory formulation, both described in terms of fields that depend on d+2 coordinates. The Standard Model of particle physics can be regarded as a gauge fixed form of a 2T theory in 4+2 dimensions. These facts already provide evidence for a new type of higher dimensional unification.
