If the past and future don't exist and the present has no duration, then time doesnt exist.. that's my perception of it, anyway

Contrary to what was said in here, time is not 'the fourth dimension'.
Isn't it?
It's not? lol

For mathmatical reasons I don't begin to understand, string theory requires a universe with either 10 or 26 dimensions. No idea how you could travel to them, but 5MEO-DMT will make you think you did.
read "a brief history of time" by stephen w. hawking...time is not the 4th dimension...but it night be. there are no "for sures" when talking about stuff we know nothing about. like someone said b4, we cannot comprehend the 4th dimension just as someone from the 2D world, cant comprehend the 3D world. in this book he explains how travaling in 3D is faster than travaling in 2D.

that being said, one could say that travaling in the forth dimension could be faster than in the 3rd but how can we kno? well, we'll have to try and find out. if we can figure out the 4th D that is:P. one this is for sure, only time will tell ;)

^^^ Maybe that's where I read it. I couldn't remember if it was A brief History of Time, Universe In A Nutshell, or A Short History of Nearly Everything; and I wasn't about to flip through the 500+ combined pages of all of them to find out.
BUT if I DO!!!! I will remember this thread.
it was a great book...i hate reading...and i wanna read that one again!
