What are Our Dimensions?
According to Einstein, length and time are the only two dimensions that are affected by dilation as the speed of a mass increases so I plan to show that the classic concept of 4-dimensional space is incorrect and should, in fact, be only 2 (length and time).
When we measure a volume of something, we use use either three dimensions, usually depth, width and height as in a box or just a single dimension diameter as in a sphere. Therefore, it is obvious that volume has more than one method of measurement and the 3-Dimensional volume is just one convenient method we use for calculating a volume.
One way of calculating the volume of a box is by adding the volumes of a collection of spheres of various sizes. This only requires a single dimension, diameter. Consider a cube, the first sphere will almost fill the cube, four smaller spheres will almost fill the four corners, etc, etc. Therefore the general equation will be something like:
SUM of Spheres = sum of radiis x 4/3 pie r3
Any volume could be measured in the same way with this single dimension.
The conclusion is that our universe has only 2 dimensions: length and time. 3-D Volume is simply a variation of length.
Dimensions take on a new meaning in the Trilogy theory.
Velocity
How do we measure distance. We need a reference point at the start and finish. A tape measure would be useful for a small distance but longer distances would require knowledge of time taken and velocity, which involves time. You might argue that the tape measure does not involve time but the markings on the measure are determined by markings made a set distance apart which can only be inscribed over time. So a measure not only has fixed known predetermined lengths but also is a measurement of time.
