Could time be fractal in nature?

No. This would mean that things speed up or slow down. And this would effect different masses different.

Suppose time is a manifold and every point in space has "n" time coordinates which represent its position in the manifold, let us call true time a function such that T: Rn--->R so for us, true time could look linear.

Our notion of time could be derived from something more complex, maybe we just have to extrapolate the way we think about time to n dimensions.

Fractals are nowhere differentiable while time is an element of the tangent vector space of Lorentzian manifold which is a smooth manifold, therefore analytical. Time does not show fractal behaviour.

Time isn't a property like electric charge

Real numbers are fractal at every three points you pick them if you make a line with equally or unequally but equally same distributed dots between first and second and first and third point and you can apply recursion to infinity.

It may not be fractal itself, but it's good substrate for growing fractals. Even creators of this universe uses them for growing pseudo-fractals.
