new philosophical thread by jake, hated and feared scourge of the board... *sigh*

i think i get what the OP is saying. since our minds (and our self conciousness) can conceptualize the fourth dimension, it is likely that there is some aspect of it represented there. to use the flatland example, thing of it as if mister square had a little peg sticking out the top of him.

uh wow. are you new to the English language, keyboarding, or both?

I think that time is a construct of the human mind, becuase we can't preceive the whole of reality at once. Any thoughts from people who have actual mathmatics to back them up?

well, the issue here is that without time, nothing could move. the reverse can be said, however, indicating a mutual relationship of time and movement. so, the question is, is time a measure of movement, or is movement a measure of time? chicken or the egg?

How can the ride be 4d? Does spongebob travel through the hyper surface of the present, or merely time? if so, is every ride 4d then? Further, if the ride is 4d and by the theory presented in this thread is to be taken as law, does not spongbob have a soul, at least for the duration of the ride?

spongebob gained a soul the first time he opened his mouth. his soul, however, isn't self generated, but projected into him by the millions of people who believe in spongebob's existence as a personality. people's perception drives his existence as a character.
