Fourth dimension - Vector spaces. In treating space to be akin to a vector space, that is, a set of vectors which we can think of as arrows, fixed from some single place in space which we call the origin (geometric vectors), that point to other places in space, we can look at the following intuitive concepts to build up a definition of dimension. A point is a zero-dimensional object
The concept of a fourth dimension is one that is often described in considering its physical implications, that is, we know that in three dimensions, we have dimensions of length (or depth), width, and height. The fourth dimension is said to be at right angles to these three. The cardinal directions in the three known dimensions are called up/down (altitude), north/south (longitude), and east/west (latitude)

Fourth Dimension
Fourth Dimension A subject on which there is great confusion, owing chiefly to failure to distinguish between physical concepts and the concepts of pure geometry.
Physical bodies are three-dimensional, neither more nor less; anything with fewer or more dimensions is not a physical body. In pure mathematics we may assume as many or few so-called dimensions as we like, as independent variables, and use this formulation in the interpretation of phenomena.
Thus we can represent motion or position in time by a vector or a line, and thus devise a special calculus for the interpretation of physical phenomena, which we may call a space-time continuum. But we err if we try to imagine the existence of one-, two-, or four-dimensional physical bodies.
It is of course easy to calculate how many sides, edges, such a transcendental body would have, supposing it could exist; but such calculations are purely algebraic. Such cloudy speculations have been seized upon to explain such phenomena as spiritualism and UFOs. However, this dimensional calculus is only useful for the interpretation of nonphysical ideas or phenomena -- for example, the phenomena of thought or emotion -- where physical concepts have been abstracted from our mind.

Related ArticlesWhere Did Humans Come FromIn the ideological battle between the Biblical theory of Creationism and the scientific theory that we evolved by particles clanging together in primordial soup billions of years ago there is another intriguing alternative. What if humans were created trillions of years before this Universe came into being and that modern man walked into this three dimensional plane, thirty-thousand years ago from another dimension, says the author. He calls this 'The Fourth Alternative'. Christian MotivationWhy people do some of the things they do is interesting and sad as well, like why do people join any religion- especially Christianity? Rolfing Ten Series- Session 3Rolfing Ten Series session three completes what was initiated in the first-hour, defining the body in three-dimensional space (x,y,z).

Space In The Fifth DimensionIn the midst of this palpitating invisible world hang the designs and patterns which mold our life. We have to consider whether these designs are propelled along the rays to which they belong, or whether they exist along the whole length of the rays, like the pattern in a stick...
