This is not 100% accurate as no one really knows how the 4th and 5th dimension really look like.

    It's entirely possible, though it might be impossible to prove or disprove, that time is qualitatively the same as the three (perceptible) spatial dimensions, but that we merely experience it in a different way due to the flawed way in which our minds function.

    Guess we did get a bit off topic with time dimensions... Anyone else read Rudy Rucker's "The 4th Dimension"?

    He's talking about spacial dimensions. In the axis of reality, time would be the fourth dimension. (three dimensions of space and one dimension of time) but those 3 dimensions other than time are spacial dimensions, and this post depicts what the basic 4th and 5th dimensional shapes would look like. What you can't see in this post is how these objects change depending on positions, but because they are all on the same constant positition this is a somewhat accurate depiction.

    But just because we humans subjectively experience time in that way, does not mean that that is the absolute and objective truth. There's no reason why another train couldn't travel in the opposite direction along a parallel track - or, come to that, why OUR train's velocity couldn't be altered by an outside agency (though to my knowledge, no theory currently suggests what force or entity might have that capability)

    About time: logically there is no reason for time to flow in only one direction (or rather, for objects to move in only one direction along the T axis). Time appears to be one-directional because we perceive it in that way. It's like we're stuck on a train that has no brake, no reverse gear and only one windo, which faces forward.

    also i dont think dimensions work like this, you dont just multiply widths, hieghts, and lengthe. im not even sure its possible for a human brain to figure out things other than 4 dimensions.

    also if time is not a dimension, how come things change over >>TIME<<

    how about plugging our heads into quantum computers to comprehend this stuff
