but its not a unification into the fourth dimensional continuum
we dont even know if such a continuum exist
time could exist with the first and second dimension its just a parameter of physical changes. not a dimension.
the first and second dimension wouldnt exist without time. it doesnt build on the third dimension.
it builds on the existence of everything. no time no nothing.
its not against you i just say because its not logical.
its not just words just think about it
What you're effectively saying is that time causes change, this is not true; time allows us (humans) to measure the rate of change by giving a point of reference, it doesn't affect (cause) change directly.
I personally don't believe that time exists outside of being a human construct.
i think i know what you mean.
i agree with you at measuring the rate. the thing is that you cant change time make go faster or slower.
so your right that it doesnt cause change directly because it has no influence of making changes (no affect).
but time is a inherent part of existence even if there is no physical influence of it. so my opinion is that it causes change.
time only exist on the same constant rate so its possible to measure it.
when you have many clocks at the same time you see that all clocks run on the same rhythm.
it doesnt have to be our human perception the machines show all the same time.
time always existed. no time would be against the energy conservation law.
the same problem you talk about is with colors. the human eye sees different colors than for a example a dog because the electromagnetic waves reflect different to the eyes. colors only exist at our perception. the neutral environment cant see anything. its a complicated thing for sure.
