And then I started thinking about how no cell in our body is older than 3 years, and how physically, I'm not the same person as I used to be
code:That's him on his single line at a specific point in time. Only he decides that even if it isn't much differen't, he's like to check out the other end of the line, so he moves (taking time to move of course, he's no instantaneous) and now here he is:-*--------
code:We can see his movement either as a series of one dimensional movements, or we can put them together to create a two dimensional world, where time is the second dimension like this:---------*
code:That's his two dimensinal view, entirley static since instead of viewing a series of time-frames, we're seeing time represented as an actual phsyical dimension. the thing is, we're 3D, so we can see those two dimensions, but poor, repressed point a can only see in his one dimension, that's why he sees himself as one dimensional (and why the girls don't like him), he can't see the time dimension, so he has to see a series of one dimensions to approximate the 2nd dimension. So really, if he saw our little 2 dimensional plot of his one dimensional world, he would see it in only one dimension (project from 2 to 1), and so it would look like this:-*--------

code:He would see a continous line of... him! And that is what we would be if the universe is a 4 dimensional entity, instead of three dimensions with this odd time dimension thrown in as something completely seperate. A series of 4 dimensional static movements, but as 3D creatures we can only see our 3D selves, and thus we would see blobs of us scattered across the globe, following our travels and trials, each from meshed into the next in a continual path of life that spread itself through all 4 dimensions, and traveling back in time may confuse the image but would remain unrestricted acess in the 4 dimensional realm, causation becoming meaningless.-*********
