We do not live in the fourth dimension. My hypothesis on the fourth dimension is that it is the
state of mind. When you sleep you are in the fourth dimension, when you are on an acid trip you are
in the fourth dimension, when you are in a coma you are in the fourth dimension. What is dimension?
It is perception, if you perceive time to be nonexistent, that is through sleep or prolonged coma,
then time is nonexistent. Time is but a measurement to pinpoint what has happened and what will
happen. If you are in a coma then time around you is nonexistent until you return to the third
dimension. You cannot re-measure time. Once it has happened then there is no way to go back to it,
except through illusions of the past such as memories and film. You cannot change what has happened
or what will happen, but you can change mass and distance therefore time cannot coexist with the
other forms of measurements time is a special type of measurement, an illusionary measurement.
So I'm voting no |

We are just the shadow of the 4th dimension so we must be in the 3rd |

Time scales don't exist in the universe:P. We could classify it as a fourth dimension but the reason
we have dimensions is for how objects are shaped not where they are. As Koran said time itself but
classifying things as time scales is assuming that we control it. |

The lengths of a cube do not appear shorter in 2d if you display the object in orthographic
projection. And as for the tesseract statement you made - that we would see all sides as equal -
that implies that the 4th dimension is spatial whereas I am saying that it is not, it is temporal.
This is supposed to be a comment for Ryan's response. |

We only exist in the third dimension but experience the indirect shadow of the dimension above. That
shadow is known to us as time. If we existed in the fourth dimension, then we would be able to
directly move and manipulate time around us. Imagine that you draw a cube. When it is represented in
the second dimension, the dimension of depth appears shorter in the drawing. If a model of a cube is
seen in the third dimension however, all the sides are equal in length. The shadow of a forth
dimensional object is known as a teseract - a cube suspended inside another cube. If we truly
existed in the fourth dimension, then we would see all of the sides as being equal. |
