You didn't answer...

I haven't read up on it to give an educated answer.

As far as "time" being the 4th dimension....

“The idea of time being the fourth dimension of space did not bring much progress in physics and is in contradiction with the formalism of special relativity,” he said. “We are now developing a formalism of 3D quantum space based on Planck's work. It seems that the Universe is 3D from the macro to the micro level to the Planck volume, which per formalism is 3D. In this 3D space there is no ‘length contraction,’ there is no ‘time dilation.’ What really exists is that the velocity of material change is ‘relative’ in the Einstein sense.”

If you told me you were leaving for x and y by foot or by car and lived 4 km away from x and y, I would be able to know when you would arrive at x and y. Time isn't a spacial dimension.

In all seriousness, though, time is a coordinate on a similar (not same) footing with space, in that both of them are necessary to completely specify an object's location.

Time is relative, so if it was a terrible movie you'd have spent MORE time than if it was a good movie. That's what they mean by it being relative right? Time flies when you're having fun sort of thing?

Time goes by the fastest when we're asleep. We spend roughly 1/3 of our time on Earth asleep.

Space is timeless. Time exists only in our world (we created it as a measure of the earth's rotation).

Well, space at any given instant of time is timeless There's the universe now... and now... and now. At each of those instants, the universe is timeless, but in order to progress from one configuration to the next, the universe must change its time coordinate.

Whether or not the article you pointed to a few posts ago has scientific merit, I don't know. The reality is that the physical theories we've developed (quantum field theory, general relativity, etc.), which include time, have borne the test of experiment. I'd say that's what really matters.

Ty for sharing that factoid, but Snapple had already informed me of that.

That's precisely what is limiting advancement.

What's limiting advancement is people saying stuff like "we don't know what came before the big bang, so God did it, end of story."

Scientists, on the other hand, are still working on a unified theory.

So you want advancement, but you just don't want to spend neither time nor money. Makes perfect sense.

And the wonderful irony of that is that you are the one who said that "alternative treatments" like Reiki should get research funding.

"We would support the call for scientific research and evidence gathering on the efficacy of homeopathic medicines. This would help our patients and customers make informed choices about using homeopathic medicines."

Unfortunately, the WHO and company wouldn't bother researching any alternate medicines on whether or not they are effective since for the most part, they are a cheaper alternative and it wouldn't make sense (economically) to do this.

And don't let our Armenian recipe for "Naneh Limone" out to the public
