I doubt these can really be compared that way, but since light travels 186,282 miles in one second, my money's on the inch being less.
The fourth dimension is not "time'. The fourth dimension is a real space dimension r=ct, where c is the speed of light and the fourth dimension r is the product of 'c' and time which gives a real number distance. The other three dimensions are vector dimensions V= Ix + Jx + Ky. The vectors I, J and K are unit vectors with the vector property I2=J2=K2=IJK= - 1. So, all the dimensions are units of space!
Albert Einstein stated that time is the fourth dimension. This concept is central to his theory of relativity, which combines time with the three spatial dimensions to create a unified spacetime framework.
You would get older. IF time is considered to be the fourth dimension (look at the bottom for details). Use a doctor's appointment as an example: the first two dimensions, length and width, could be represented by a building on the corner of Main Street and Oak Street. The third dimension, height, would be represented by the doctor's office on the fourth floor of the building. The fourth dimension, time, is represented by your appointment being at two o'clock in the afternoon. Usually all dimesions are 90 degrees to each other, though, so if you were in a 4D house and all 4 dimensions were Rt< you wouldn't get out. one you left the room you would end up in the same room and if you went upstairs a couple of times you would end up in the same room.
In physics, the fourth dimension typically refers to time as a dimension in addition to the three spatial dimensions (length, width, height). This concept is used in theories like relativity to describe events in spacetime. It is a way of conceptualizing how events are located within a four-dimensional continuum.
When a reference is used to four-dimensional co-ordinates, it is likely that what is referred to is the three spatial dimensions plus a time-line. Taken from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_dimensionLengh X Width X Height X Time + Love :) ANSWER Not counting virtual reality, everything you know of is four-dimensional. The fourth dimension is probably the hardest dimension to understand. It's made up of 4 parts, length x width x depth x time( L x W x De x t). Therefore, there really is no visual object that is not four-dimensional.
all dimensions are orthogonal so there is no ranking them on distance.
The fourth dimension.
the fourth dimension is the theory of time ,soul and consionces
Why is time called the fourth dimension?
Most physicists would tell you that we already consider there to be a fourth dimension. It is time.
The Fourth Dimension - book - was created in 1984.
Time is not the fourth dimension, because time is a singularity. The Past, Present and Future are in the "Now".
sure, why not
The Fourth dimension in Space is a real distance dimension r, completing the three vector displacement dimensions. Space is a quaternion with one real dimension and three vector dimensions, s= r + Ix + Jy + Kz, where I,J and K denote the vector dimensions. The real dimension r is related to time by r=ct where c is the speed of light. Einstein and Minkowski proposed in Relativity Theory a defective four dimension Space, where the fourth dimension is a vector Ict . This Space is essentially a two dimensional Space and does not exhibit the non-commuttive features of the quaternion Space.

Yes.
The fourth dimension is usually considered as being time.
