How time is dimension?

Answer 1

Mathematically speaking, in relativity theory it works out that time gets "mixed" with the direction of travel in a special way described by the Lorentz equations. However, in a non-mathematical sense this example is a good way of thinking about it: In a sense that if you wish to define an event - time is one dimension the event takes place in.

just look at a map - lets say you have a party at 54 pine st. corner of Maine st.

the event happens in the following dimensions

at the "pine dimension" (the value is 54)

at the "Maine dimension" (unkown value)

now lets say second floor so for the third dimension the value is 2

and the fourth dimension (of the event) is ..................5/7/2009 17:30

enjoy the party!
