Hmm… While I was thinking of a title for this posts, I thought that it could be a pseudonym, but for blog posts. Then I realized I had to make it up because it doesn’t exist, and my lack of extreme creativity caused me some problems. While I think about what to call it, I will continue writing.
I sent this to one of my friends:
So, what were you saying about my question to why Time cant be something other than a dimension?
And got this in reply:
So, in most opinions we are living in 3 dimensions of space and one temporal dimension, or dimension of time. Some people do call this 4 dimensions but this is being less specific because it could be referring to 4d of space, 4d of time, 1d of space and 3d of time, 2d of space and 2d of time, etc. Spacial dimensions are describing in which directions the object can move or how many different measurements it is possible to take along the edges/sides (we supposedly live in 3 dimensions of space because it is possible to measure length, width, and height.)
Time isn’t an [TBS_POPOVER title=”” content=”This means that it isn’t something other than a dimension.” style=”text-decoration:underline” placement=”left”]other[/TBS_POPOVER] , instead it is another type of dimension. With one dimension of time we can in one direction, in this case forwards in time. If we had two dimensions of time we could go forwards and backwards in time.
According to Stephen Hawking originally before the supposed big bang there was only a small speck and this speck of our universe didn’t have laws of physics made (this means that you can’t predict what happened before then) and with this spec there were 4 dimensions of space and no dimensions of time. Then something happened and the fourth dimension of space converted into a first dimension of time.
A one dimensional shape would not be visible to humans because it would not be a line because with a line you can always measure width.
Think about this:
A 2D* shape such as a square is made up of 1D* shapes. (its edges)
A 3D* shape such as a cube is made up of one dimensional shapes such as squares. (its sides)
This means that a 4D* cube-ish thing would be made up of cubes.
If you trapped a 2D* ant in a square he would not be able to escape. A 3D* ant would because he could go over the edges.
If you trapped a 3D* ant in a cube he would not be able to escape. A 4D* ant would be able to escape because he could go through the fourth dimension.
* to be specific this is blank dimensions of space.

It’s awesome.
