1st dimension: represents possibility existence (a single point)
2nd dimension: defines existence because of the existence of points on a single plane. This is possibly because there are other points to verify existence. Although the 1st point cannot prove it's self, if can affect the other point (direction of the line because of position of the point) which therefor proves that the other point does exist. Something exists.
3rd dimension: something we call "mass". on a single plane, items can theoretically exist, but cannot have a physical quantity. Introducing this dimension makes objects touchable, even if it is very thin.
But 4th? Time has no correlation, it is an entity entirely separate. Without time, the first three dimensions can't exist, because the idea of "existence" has no 'time' to take place.
I believe that time is recursive. Everything must have a beginning and an end. Infinity does too, it's just that the beginning/end will a) never be reached or b) have no effect once reached. The 'b' method comes from [reimann plane] (not sure of the name..). The plane is circular, and defines infinity and negative infinity as a point opposite to 0. Infinity and negative infinity are the same point.
Think of time in 2 pieces:
time originates in box #1. nothing is in box #2 (box #2 is "the future")
time moves to box #2. the present time is box #2, the past is box #1, the future is box #1
time moves to box #1 again. the present time is in box #1, the past is box #2, the future is box #2.
etc.
of course, this means that time will replace each box, every time. [the 2 box theory is a simplified version]. [note duration is a quantity of time, like year, second, nanosecond, etc]
if (limit as X approaches 0. X is the duration of time) then (Y is the number of "boxes". the limit of Y approaches infinity)
But where is the beginning/end?
We create simple "for loops" in programming. If we choose to make an "infinite for loop", the loop will continue till we stop it (of the computer breaks). However, if we assume that will not degrade/break, then the loop will continue till the creator terminates it. (god or just the possible % chance that time was created in the first place). It is infinite in the sense that if left untouched, it will continue for ever, but not in the sense that at one time it did not exist, and that one day, it could stop. Then again, with no time, existence is not defined, and there for nothing exists, including infinity. So when time starts, infinity begins. When time ends, infinity halts. So if time ever stopped or paused, no one would ever know, as nothing would be affected by it.
