A few of my random Laymen beliefs about relativity

Truthfully, I am not 100 per cent convinced there ARE other dimensions. The reason for scientists believing in other dimensions is mostly for the convenience of making math work to explain space and time effects and eneregy usage in a way that so far doesn't make total sense to them. In other words, its mostly bs..And scienctists are really good at making it sound good and plausible, but, yeah..most of it is unproven, unmeasurable, and may never be perceivable. I'm not outright trashing the possibility of them existing. But I AM saying that, to me, the reasons for believing in them at this point in time seem pretty rediculous and until something changes to prove they exist beyond a shadow of a doubt, I choose to believe that they probably don't exist. All the math that goes along with dimensions is pretty, and impressive, but its a facade on a house that might not have any support columns.

That having been said, the reason I don't see time as a dimension is that it is not independant of the other dimensions. For example, in a dimension where the movements are strictly up, down, left, right, forward, backward there is no true diagonal. But most people just accept that when we see a diagonal its a mix of two dimensions constantly being flitted in and out of enough to appear as a smooth ray in a direction in between the main two dimensions. Although I accept that this works for current math and geometry for now, I have a feeling that as we get into traveling space later down the line, the need to create new diagonal math to be more direct and efficient in how fuel is managed over extended distances will be necessary. Or maybe it will add more insight into how atomic clocks are affected by rotational forces. And may eventually be adapted as the true fourth dimension. Because my idea of true diagonal isn't a mix of the two dimensions, but is actually a true straight dimension of its own. In diagonal math, a height of 1 and a length of 1 doesn't result in a right triangle with a hypotaneuse of the square root of two. It results in a diagonal slope of 1. Math beyond that I'd have to work out, and I'll be honest, I have neither the talent or patience to do it. But on a day off, maybe I'll tinker with it a bit and see what I come up with.

Magnetism and Gravity are forces that act upon matter,and so is Time. If time is a dimension, so is Gravity and Magnetism. Since no one seems to believe that Magnetism and Gravity are dimensions, I don't think time is either. Time is just a force that pushes us forward and ages everything (at least as far as our perceptions tell us..)

Anwyay, I am giving scientists a little creedence when I say that time may exist in other dimensions and pervade them.

Time=errosion. Time doesn't have to do anything to itself to erode anything. Time IS the eroding agent. However, I suspect the rate that things are aged by time follows a very similar math to the gravitational fields of two planets or the electromagnetic charge between two ions, mixed in with some general cause and effect. The size of time and matter are relative to each other, but some aspects of time seem to be either fixed, or constantly in motion. So what happens when matter at fixed spacetime meets matter with matter and time that is in motion? Well, I'm sure you've seen the balls on a desk that click back and forth as a cause and effect experiment. I suspect what happens is very similar. Except, there is wear and tear on the affected ball. In other words, imagine that every time the first ball hits the second ball, and translates across the rest of the balls, until the last kicks out and swings back again, the last ball somehow loses a little of its mass or solidness. Similarly, I suspect that when big and small pieces of space time collide, the smaller matter experiences a large amount of wear and tear, and the big piece very little wear and tear. This might actually be the reason water CAN erode harder objects over time.

As I try to imagine what other dimensions would look like, I get the sense that they would be similary to our existing dimension with more (semi-contextual) data. In other words, in a four dimensional world, I can look at my hand..and see my hand..but I will also see smaller and larger aspects to my hand that might seem to exist underish my skin, and overish my skin at the same time. To be more specific, my skin would not be see through, but I'd still get an impression of detail under my skin as if I could see through my skin. Outside the skin might be a extra data that might almost look like lucite, but be more ephemeral, and would probably look like an extended, exaggerated outline drawing of my arm.

The problem is, all of these layers are one, and the same, and different. And to someone unused to observing in 4 dimensions, would be almost too sharp at certain points, and out of focus at other points. But once you practice, you can actually train your eyes to focus on what is important for you to focus on at a given time. And the rest just becomes background noise. Unfortunately, when you go back the 3D world, you're going to have one HECK of a headache from all of the focusing and refocusing you had to do in 4D world. And for a moment, your eyes are going to have to recalibrate back to 3D again. One side effect is that you may notice hints of the 4D world in our 3D world once you have had the benefit of observing them in the first place.

Singularities remind me of the old logic trap,

"Everything I say next is a lie
Everything I said before is true."

The center of a black hole is not a singularity..its just instant death, and if you could somehow survive the conditions to get to the center, then the center would just seem like hell. Because if no form of matter or light can escape, then you will pretty much be in the most radiated place in the universe. And if you can survive that, then, the ultimate wood chipper is spinning at the center.

Time might not come back measurably from a black hole, but trust me, it exists there. Time cannot stop. Time is, time advances, and time will always be. NOTHING can stop time.
