True. Heres what Dictionary.com says about time:

Time - A nonspatial continuum in which events occur in apparently irreversible succession from the past through the present to the future.

This is all true. But there are way too many definitions for time. Time is really everything and nothing together. It's everything by the way the universe flows in a ageing pattern but it's also nothing since we can not see it in physical form or capture it.

well ppl...welcome to the matrix! woohooo .. so u guys took red pill huh? guess wot i took it too

well i believe there is 4th dimension but just not visible to man..i believe there are many dimensons

define dimension
Dimension
# A measure of spatial extent, especially width, height, or length.
# Extent or magnitude; scope. Often used in the plural: a problem of alarming dimensions.
# Aspect; element: “He's a good newsman, and he has that extra dimension” (William S. Paley).
# Mathematics.

   1. The least number of independent coordinates required to specify uniquely the points in a space.
   2. The range of such a coordinate.

# Physics. A physical property, such as mass, length, time, or a combination thereof, regarded as a fundamental measure or as one of a set of fundamental measures of a physical quantity: Velocity has the dimensions of length divided by time

(i swiped the definition from dictionry.com )

well anyways as cookie said dimension is not always visible or phyisical .. and if u want it as visible and physicial then i think its not doable

there is no way ur going to see 4 sides of a cube at the same time..there is always one side that is left in the darkness..which means 4th dimension is left in darkness for us -- the people

my thought

ist a very good thought...i agree

There are some comments i don't agree with, time isn't something man invented. We only invented hours/seconds etc to REPRESENT time.

Time actually exists as we can see in Einstein's theories of relativity the Big Bang, etc...

yes...but if there was no horus or seconds nobody would know what time is and it wouldnt really be invented so these ARE like time...there is like no such thing as time we just invented seconds and mesured them and stuff and what would time be without these?

it would be a notion... just like "distance" would be without meters... just because you don't call a cat "cat" doesn't mean he doesnt exist

yeah...butstill...its confusing...time is nothing....time is just a mesurement...time is a mesurment that man made...miliseconds...seconds...minutes...hours...days...months...years...decades and so on...man invented them and without them there would be NO time because thats what time is...

So You're saying that if man never invented seconds and minutes and such, that nothing would be in motion, cause that's what time is....

I'm saying that's not true!

I thought the same way til i started studying some advanced physics where it becomes clear that time is an actual dimension. Take a spaceship and fly REALLY fast you will "travel" slower in time.... once you get back on earth you could have been flying for a day while everyone on earth lived for a millenia... it's theoretically possible... Also, there are evidence that when the big bang happens (whatever caused it, lets not turn this into what created the world...) an infinite number of things got created at the same time meaning time was created only after the big bang... try googling around you might find stuff about this...
