is time a spacial dimension?

Question

and if so is time passing or are we passing through time?

Answer 1

Yes, Since Enistein theorized and proved it in his General and Special Theory of Relativity. Time is relative to the observers frame of reference said Einstein. This means that the perception of time is somehow connected to the mass of the bodies and their distances form one another in space and time. TIme is proportional to the warping of the fabric of Space-Time. Which is determined by the masses of bodies inspace. TIme does not pass. Time is not a fixed kind of thing throughout the Universe. Like the ticking of a clock. Time is not absolute.But the speed of light is. These are the two things he proved people! Im okay now. Time dialates or contracts around different masses.We are passing through time. Time is not passing. It seems to pass.Because,we age and see changes in our lives & the seasons. That's what makes time seem to pass or flow. But, it doesn't.

Answer 2

No it isn't spacial. Spacial is reserved for left, right, forwards, back, up and down. Time passing or passing through time look the same to us. It is impossible to tell the difference from our reference frame. Like if you are in a stationary car and the car next to you moves forwards, you feel like you are moving backwards, although you are actually stationary. Relative to the other car you are moving backwards.

Answer 3

Time is not a spacial dimension. Its the fourth dimension. Ever heard of space time plain?....This space time plain consists of the three spacial dimensions on one axis and time on other axis. And what we are passing is not just thru space or time. W are passing thru space-time plain. And the time axis in this plain dosent have a vegative side, the zero being at the beginning of time.

Sounds confusing? it does to me too. lets do one thing. Lets go meet Einstein after we're dead and ask him to tell us more specifically. Hes the one who made this space time concept so as to prove his theory of E=mc x mc.

Answer 4

It may be . Try to imagine that we put all the 2d frames of a 2d world , in a 3d notebook (a normal one) .We have transformed a dynamic 2d world in a static 3d world .So , a dynamic 3d world can be represented as a static 4d world .So time could be the 4-th spacial dimension .

Answer 5

No, it is not because the unit of time is seconds and the unit of space is meters.

In physics one often uses the concept of space-time, that is the time t multiplied with the speed of light c.
The product ct is expressed in meters and can be treated as a normal spatial dimension.

Answer 6

No
You should be able to move in any direction through a spatial dimention. Up down, left right, forward, back etc.

You can't move backward in time.

In fact you can't control time at all. It just happens. Whether we are passing through it or it is passing us by is irrelevant. You can't do anything about it.

Answer 7

I always though time was directly related to speed. They say that if someone travelled at the speed of light, time would pass slower for them. I wonder if, since we have evolved on Earth's rotational and orbital speed, travelling at different velocity would age our cells any?

Answer 8

Time/Space are more like the thing that the 3 dimensions (L,W,H) exist upon, I would say no

Answer 9

Time is a creation of man to explain their linear existance.The Universal laws are not govererned or affected by time just the path to increasing entropy.

Answer 10

Wrong spelling lah. "Spatial" not "spacial". Do a spelling check first lah.

Answer is no. It is "temporal". And you watch too much Star Wars movies.
