Hmmm. If height, width and depth make up the three dimensions, what is the fourth?

Time is the default answer.

But somehow i'm suspicious of it. But time is the 1 that we're stuck in, and can't move freely in. We know that events can ripple through time (precognition) so it IS a fluid/maleable substance.

Time is linked to the 3, they exist through some definition of time.

The past is fixed right? So we see the past as a straight line. the future is more like a funnel, with possibilities ... ergo time is NOT as it appears, when you look at the past, or future it looks like a different thing.

That's why i don't trust it .. it's nothing near what we understand.

I dunno. I'm skeptical that "time" even exists. Time is merely a unit of measurement that the human mind uses to distinguish events. In truth, "time" doesn't exist in the universe any more than "kilometers" are tangible things between spaces.

I hear you, BUT.

"kilometres" is a valid form of measurement for workig within the 3 dimensions.

Ditto for time.

But then you're going off into a quantum tangent, where time and space only exist as constructs. ergo you don't exist, and aren't using your pc or brain even.

When we get out this box, then perhaps i'd be able to explain it ;-)

Indeed. Maybe the universe was created this morning and made to look billions of years old while we all have false memories of our lives. But if we're gonna apply that thinking, all arguing becomes moot.

But still. Does the universe have a beginning and an end? It doesn't require one... only our minds do. That would solve the problem of first causes.

There's a theory that the universe recreates itself several million times a second, literally expanding and contracting itself.

I honestly can't accept that my memories are false, i can agree that my understanding of they came about is dodge.

It's possible, but we know so little of our universe that any such theory is beyond substantiation.

As for our memories... yeah, I don't believe they're false, either. They may be corrupted, they may not be reliable, but I don't feel they're false.

Of course, we can't "prove" our memories are false any more than we can prove we exist...
