I recently reached out to Erik from Lovinthings.com who has expressed a similar idea that motion is the fourth dimension. I was able to condense much of my theory, including the recent advancement of considering force as the fifth spatial dimension.
This is a reply that I wrote to one of his messages:
Yes I agree that time is not a dimension, but simply a measurement of motion and duration. I don’t think time could be changed into a spatial dimension, but motion is something that is observable and utilizes space. An object’s history of its motion (be it a change in direction or simple change in formation) is its fourth-dimensional quality. What can we do with space? We can form three-dimensional objects and move them. I don’t see any need for higher spatial dimensions “perpendicular” to the three known ones, but instead propose that the further utilization of space through motion is where we must consider the next step of spatial dimensions.
Today I have even taken it a step further, because what else needs space to function and is intrinsically tied to motion? Force. Motion and force coexist, force being the interaction with other objects in space. I’m considering saying force is the fifth and final spatial dimension. What else can we do with space? Should force be its own dimension, or should motion/force be the fourth dimension. Though they are intrinsically connected I would prefer to keep them conceptually separate, because the same can be seen in the lower dimensions, each higher one depending on the lower one. (Objects cannot have force without motion, objects cannot have motion if they do not exist in three-dimensional space, etc).
Above spatial dimensions I even posit a further hierarchy, a sixth dimension, or the first non-spatial dimension, even. I go back to the idea of a three dimensional object replicating itself over and over again through its path of motion. What would all those paths of motion look like replicated in every possible direction? They take the form of possibilities, and possibilities do not exist in space, only reality does. Possibilities exist in consciousness, which I propose to be the 6th, or the first non-spatial dimension.
This was his message that I was replying to:
Hello Stuart, thanks for your message. I enjoyed reading your website articles. There’s so many ideas about time but the one that I don’t like is the statement that clocks measure time. In physics time is involved with every action in science, and Einstein made time into a dimension when coupled with space as in Spacetime.
I have challenged that view by saying time is a measure of motion, in fact a clock ticks at the rate of Earth’s motion.
Imagine going to another planet where the gravity and time are different. All of our science equations would be inaccurate. That’s why I laugh when we use telescopes and time to define the universe.
Could time be changed into a spatial dimension? That’s a unique concept for a holographic projection. Keep your inquisitive mind active, maybe you can find another piece of the puzzle.
Is time a duration of motion, the change of motion on a clock, or a dimension?
The motion of our planet is converted into time and we use clocks that move at the same rate. So, time is motion. We age at the same rate as the Earth orbits the sun.
Is time a dimension of the present moment? My view of dimensions is different. The three spatial dimensions exist in every physical thing, even a dot on a piece of paper has 3 dimensions. A tesseract has 3 dimensions, a brain has 3 dimensions, and your body has 3 dimensions.
The universe has many levels that philosophy has named as dimensions. But what separates one level from another? Frequencies.
The 4th dimension has a higher frequency and the 5th dimension enters into the spiritual realm.
