Time is Not the Fourth Dimension:
“Time is in our dimensioning because our geometry is vectorial. Every vector = mass x velocity and time is a function of velocity. . . Time and heat and longevity and weight are inherent in every dimension. Ergo, time is no more the fourth dimension than it is the first, second, or third dimensions. No time: No dimension. . . It was the failure of the exclusiev (sic) three-dimensionality of the XYZ interperpendicular coordination that gave rise to the concept that the fourth dimension must be a mysterious state which might be spoken of casually as a ‘time dimension,’ because the XYZ coordinates in themselves, as heretofore adopted by man, has seeming validity only in its linear and spatial characteristics independent of time and physical reality.”
