So, if time is a dimension, the 4th...does everything still exist in each moment forward and backward from the perspective of higher dimension?

Yes and no.

Thanks for clearing that up.

I'm not at all convinced that the speed of light is a constant or "C". What say you?

I think speed of light is a constant. It's speed of sound that changes.

I say... I could only guess... which would probably be a wrong guess... therefore I choose to keep my ignorance hidden.

I would think it is constant though.

Think of it this way.

YOu're out watching a fireworks show. You see the lights but don't hear the boom from the explosion for a few seconds.

delay of the sound waves getting to the ears of the spectator, the closer, the sooner you hear the sound ?

Ah, there's the rub. Sound is a wave right? The speed of sound changes depending on the medium, for example, 6 times faster underwater.

Light is a wave too right? What's waving? Or is it a particle? How can a particle maintain ultimate speed?

What if a vehicle is traveling light speed? Oh that's right, Einstein said time and space would compress to accommodate his lame theory hense "special" relativity. "Special" because it doesn't work.

[TintDude]

So, according to Einstein, the speed of light is irrevocably constant, but time and space are contractible on demand.

I call bullshit.
