Time "and" Dimension(s) - Visualizing the 4<sup>th</sup> Dimension

ORAL

Abstract

We all live in a 3-dimensional world where we have three dimensions to travel. There is also a 4th dimension, which we call “time”. Just like we move in the 3rd dimension, we are also moving in the 4th dimension - time. However, we can move freely in the 3rd dimension, but the same free will is not there while traveling in the 4th dimension. In this paper, a different approach has been put forward to visualize time as a dimension. We, humans, travel 3 dimensionally, but we live in a (3+1) dimensional world. We are the beings of the 4th dimension; we are the beings of time. That means, to be able to move freely in the 4th dimension, i.e., to time travel, an individual just has to be in a higher dimension – the 5th dimension. Once, an individual reaches the 5th dimension, the whole of his/her timeline would be right in front of him/her and the individual would be able to go to any of the moments in time just by traveling physically to there just as he/she would traveling three-dimensionally when going to a place in space. In general, if an individual traveled “n dimensionally”, then he/she would be living in the (n+1)th dimension. In this paper, different approaches have been provided to time travel to the future and the past using the concept of dimensions and how an individual can go to higher dimensions.
