If you look at a 2x2 square it is actually 3 dimentional, it's actually 2x2x1. Probably 4 dimension does exist. Think about it, 2x2x2x(something) = 4D

If you think about it, even a point has however many dimensions exist.

Wasn't the 4th dimension "Time"?

But you can only move one way in time(I don't believe time travel will ever be created). And no, a point doesn't have that many dimensions, as a point has no depth.

But if a point has no dimensions, then we couldn't see it because it could never be measured. if, say for example, a point had a height of 0.000", if you had 3 million points on top of one another, you would get (3,000,000 x 0.000" = 0")

But if we can see a point, then obviously it has dimension.

lunar- yes, the fourth dimension is time.

Actually, I think in three dimensions, I think. Or is it four? Or is it somebody else?

Aren't you forgetting the fifth dimension - Eddie? He left the band before they made it big.

Superstring Theory says the universe contains ten dimensions.

In my thinking, time is a fractional linear experience of the dimension below. The third dimension to a 2-dimensional being is change, is time. It's like a plane moving across a three-dimensional object. It appears as a slowly-changing 2-dimensional object. Like you're scanning it.

And then time in our experience is crossing 4-dimensional reality in the same way. Seen fully from the fourth dimension, all the depth of time can be seen simultaneously just like all the depth of a landscape could be seen be a 3-dimensional being.

The 5th dimension would then contain >multiple< strands of time containing three-dimensional reality, this being probable realities.

A being fully in any dimension is fractionally in the dimension above it, experiencing it as linear time and change.

I still don't get it, how could time be possibly a dimension? Is it a dimension becuase you can measure it just like width and length?
