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.

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

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.

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.

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.”

Uh-oh, you said "time"!

But if an undesired series of events occured and you fell into a man hole on your way to x and y, you would never reach the place at that time.

Okay, kidding aside... Let's get back to it.

How would you explain the experiments that demonstrate that time is relative? Like the time in satellites or clocks of different heights etc?

What if the movie sucked and you just wasted your short life on Earth wasting precious time.

Uh-oh, you said "time"!

What if I stopped to see a movie? I'd still be traveling by one mode of travel or another, yet I would arrive about two hours later than you would expect.

Was it Harry Potter? I might stop for that, but never Twilight.

But I would be at that place only at that particular time. You'd still be trying to calculate a "time." Thing occupy not only a place in space, but in space-time.
