I would say the 4th dimension is "time for 3d beings" or something similar, since I think we can define 3d as "time" for a 2-dimensional being. We need some way to explain how we change from one state to another within a given dimension by utilizing the dimensions above.

I am not incredibly well versed in the 10-dimensional view of reality, but I would say that the 2nd dimension would still utilize the 4th dimension for time, not the 3rd dimension.

After all, the 2nd dimension is a spatial dimension just as the third is. I think it would help people if they imagined the first three dimensions as one big spatial dimension.

In that regard proving God is nigh impossible even if it exists in any form, since we can hardly gain information of the lower dimensions as it is.

Enough mind**** for today I guess haha.

I think I am starting to understand you a little better, but I see no reason to think that there is some unknown factor or force above the highest dimension of which we can think.

You will have to more clearly define God before I can come to a better understanding of your thoughts.


This is going to turn into a critical thinking thread after a while.
