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?

23 years ago #255
Look, a point has width and length, so from a top/bottom view, you could see it. But look at it from the side, and you could not. Therefore, yes, you could stack infinite on top of another without taking up any depth, because 0+0=0.
