I just pictured myself 3 metres to the right at an altitude of 10 metres, 00:10:59:33 from now. So I think maybe so.

@OP
Have you considered reversing the polarity?

Nah. A fourth dimension would also be spatial, but impossible for people to conceive.

If you could go back and forward in time, then yeah.

Think of it as an array of parallel universes. The book Flatland does a good job of describing it. Any 4D creature would be able to see through us and any barrier we could ever create. And if it ever projected itself down into our world, it could take on endless forms. Exactly like some type of god.

According to some rule you just pulled out of your ass? The fourth dimension is time, this is undisputed. Lrn2 spacetime kthnx

You can think of time as another dimension. It is useful to do so in some cases. It is not, however, the only way to think about objects in higher dimensions. You are confusing temporal and spatial dimensions.

Are you limited to only moving left or in one direction? Time isn't comparable to spatial dimensions because it depends entirely on them

You seem to be moving the goalposts here. OP wanted to know if I can think in 4 dimensions, which I can. I can think of moving in 3 spacial dimensions and in 1 temporal dimension.

Do you have background in vector fields:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covariant_derivative#Vector_fields
or should I start with addition and subtraction lol?

but time is still the fourth dimension of spacetime! OP never said 'can you think in four seperate dimensions'. I can think in 3D+t, and that totally satisfies the rules in OP's shitpost.
