Well, the only logical thing I could decide to do is to attempt to figure out what the fourth dimension is, which is commonly accepted as time, no? So I draw a square on paper to illustrate it, along with a cube, and a second cube (with rust on it, heh.) to illustrate the fourth dimension. But could the fourth dimension really be time, when, since the moment I drew the square on the paper, it began to age?
