Anytime something moves, it supports the concept of a fourth dimension all by itself.
Given a static space, if you start with a point and move that point relative to its original location, you can draw a line through those two points.
Take that line and move it, and you can define a plane. Move the plane and you define a three dimensional space. Move that space (easier to imagine moving any of the points inside that space) and you define a time-space continuum.
So if you could take a picture of the universe and then take another one, if ANYthing moved between those two time points (ignoring the existence of a new photograph :P ) then you have just proved the existence of the fourth dimension.

Yes.
The Fourth Dimension is the concept of 'Time'
The normal Three Dimensions are ...
Length x Height x Width
Add Time and you have the real world around you and it's Space-Time Dimension.

The way I see it, there is a fourth dimension: time. It's related to all the other dimensions through space, and they make up the fabric of time-space. If you solve a physics problem, for example, a magnetic or electrical field problem in 3D, and it variates in time, you would have x,y,z;t...That's my opinion anyways. Cheers

String theory postulates that our universe is really 10 dimensional (9 space, 1 time) at the microscopic level.
