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?

You might be interested in reading Flatland, a classic 19th century work describing a square in a 2D world that discovers the third dimension.
Great topic. I stick firm to my belief that time applies to all things physical, and therefore could not be the fourth dimension. Music, though? Too specific. Sound is a good idea, however.
lateralus Reviewed by lateralus on . The 4th dimension I was talkin about this with my friends yesterday when i was drunk I think that the 4th dimension is music, isnt it? it combines the 3 dimensions, and it litterally bring you in another world. it makes u feel so much emotions. when u feel bad u just listen to music. everybody listen to music. it always existed and will always exist. definitly music is my life, music is so much. anybody thinks like me?
