What is the fourth dimension?

[Junkle]

As agreement with the other posters, time.
Or a hypercube, which looks ridiculously awesome. Seriously, it's taking a cube and then expanding on it. Also known as a tesseract.

If you are talking about physics, then the 4th dimension is time (technically space-time).

The fourth dimension? That's not so interesting, so here's a 10-dimension speculation:


It's actually pretty good. I'd recommend watching it. Covers some of the time-traveling paradoxes aswell.

TIME HURR HURR

Yeah it's time.

 

[slyywiskers]

i imagine it's somthing like 8'D tetris, but with less demensions

 

[Xpwn3ntial]

Length, width, depth, time, four more spacial dimensions whose names escape me, gravity, and supergravity are the dimensions

I don't know but wikipedia does:

All will bow to the Wikipedia

AAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!! MY BRAIN!!

Me and my friend talk about the strangest of things in class, and this question came up. We're 96% sure it's time, I'd figure I'd ask the largest group of intelligent people I know. And Neonbob.[HEADING=1]ZING![/HEADING] for all of you who don't know, in my early days of escapisting, I vowed vengence against Neonbob for insulting me on my first post. This vengence might be petty, but it was worth it.

Now I can scratch you off the list, Neonbob and work on my next target: Bobby Flay...

You could have..you know..used Google. Just saying...

Try reading this, then. I... Can't.... Process all this information!

Yup, time it is.

 

[Icehearted]

I'm pretty sure it's what Doc kept telling Marty he wasn't remembering before firing him into a movie screen at 88mph

 

[Pegghead]

I like to go on the science fiction classic the time machine and say that it's time.

What's in the other dimensions more like.

 

[escapistraptor]

It's a smple question. What is the fourth dimesion? the first is a line, the second is length, the third dimension is depth. I'll put it simply. the first dimension is a horizontal line. the second is a stick figure drawn on paper. the third would be drawing a cube. what's the fourth? or is there one?

Um, everyone already said time, and your concept of the first two dimensions is not quite correct. Here, just watch this, it explains the 1st through 10th dimensions in laymen terms:

[Dr. Gorgenflex]

In physics, time.
In geometry, a fourth axis.

AGHHHH!!!! I could only watch it halfway through. SO MUCH SCIENCE!

Blew my mind.

 

[lacktheknack]

Time - and it took you THAT long to get revenge?

 

[LeonLethality]

Time. I wish I could control it >.>

 

[Sparecash]

Think of it this way: the 0 dimension is a point without length, width, or depth. With me so far? Good.
The first dimension is a line, having length but no width or depth.
The second dimension is a plane, having length and width but no depth.
Finally, the easiest to understand - the third dimension is a volume with length, width, and depth.
Now, in order to understand the fourth dimension, we must condense all of the third dimension into a point, and string several of these points in a line. This line is time. It links various points of the third dimension together.

I hope I explained it well.

Not gonna lie, I really didn't understand it till you explained it.
Thanks

AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Too many dimensions...
Then imagining creatures LIVING in these dimensions.
