Anyway. Let's get this straight, shall we? Some people consider the fourth dimension to be time, some people consider it to be spacial. This site deals only with the fourth spacial dimension. So please post your theories about this on a board belonging to a site that deals with the fourth dimension as time.
Thank you and good bye.
What if the 4th dimension is actually a combination of both? Has that ever been discussed? The reason why I bring this up is the theory as you approach the speed of light, time begins to slow down. In the two dimensional realm, time maybe even more difficult to understand than the 3rd dimension would be to them. Think of something like a snail. It can only interpret what it is facing at that very moment. It reacts to it's senses and from what I understand about them, they don't remember things spacially (i.e. if you kept putting a block of food at a certain point in a fish aquarium, it would only move to it if it sensed it and would not remember the location of where you put that block).
On the topic of intelligence, I too would believe that a 4th dimensional being (or should I say a being operating in a conscous state in the 4th dimension as I feel that when we die we may go to such a place) would have a higher understanding as well as a higher intelligence of our own world than we ourselves do.
Returning to the topic of the 4th dimension being a dimension of both tetraspace and time (i.e. they being one dimension in and of themself), I feel it would help to explain why time slows down as you approach the speed of light. Think back to the 2d Fred and 3d Bob. Bob can put himself on any part of Fred's world, but how could Bob actually enter Fred's world and be able to experience it the same way as Fred does?
Now, here in our 3d world, what if being "born" is the only way 4d entities can enter and live in a 3d world? They actually have to inhabit a flesh and blood "vehicle" in order to live in and percieve what it is to be 3d .
I know these are deep thoughts and need more clarification, but I'm hoping it might open up some other trains of thought to the concepts.
