LOL..... Brent_Seraphim .... great guy...
Well Ive been programming db and stoped a while back to go to uni.... still read these forums now and then... well i saw this and just had to register so that i could reply

Good discussion going on

thats what i like to see...
Id just like to point my point across

Well here i goes:
Now you all seem to argue over the 4th dimension... well i don't see why... Now a dimension is just a thing.... the dimensions are just a list... so who cares if you call which which!
not much sence

Ie the 3d dimension etc was just called that because it'd make it simpler to relate to them... but in theory the 1st dimension could be x,y,x
the 2nd x,y
and the 3rd, x
see what i mean? im not too good at explaining things... specially when im hungover :S
anyways so if you go by THE list that scientists agree on then the 4th is time
also as a foot note... some scientist guy ages ago said that there were 7 dimensions or something... the rest of the scientific community basically said he was wrong...
The guy lost his job and everything... then a few years later when this equation wouldn't work, the scientists said "Wait! What if there are 7 dimensions!", and the equation worked! (think it was 7 anyways :S) and so that poor guy had been right all along, and proven so by the very people who said he was wrong!
Thats when they started going on about shhet shaped universe, and donut, and strings and it all got confusing :S
As I said... completely agree with Brent_Seraphim, good man!
