The 4th Dimension

The 4th Dimension
Beck Gozdenovich

As we all know, or should know, is that we all live in three dimensions. We represent these dimensions in axes, we have the x-axis (forward and backward), the y-axis (up and down) , and the z-axis (left and right). We are not bound by these dimensions. In other words, we can move left, right, up, down, forward, and backward, and none of these actions are permanent. What is permanent, however, is time.

 When you think about it, we actually use four coordinates in our everyday life compared to the three that are represented in our dimensions. For example, in a meeting in New York City, there are 4 coordinates that are imperative to the meeting. You need the street name, the building number, level/room number in which the meeting will take place, and finally the time the meeting will take place. You don’t give the place of the meeting without the time, and likewise you don’t give the time of the meeting without the place. Knowing this, it is not unrealistic to believe there is another dimension, that being time.

 Going back to how we can move freely in our known three dimensions, it is impossible to move freely in the dimension of time. We are forever locked in the present, and we have no access to the future or the past. If we were able to step above our dimensions, and use the dimension of time like the way we use our three known dimensions, we could choose any part of time itself and relive it.
