My take on it is that special relativity provides no evidence that time is an extra dimension (like the spatial dimensions) in anything but a mathematical sense

General relativity however has quite a lot of effects that mingle together space and time in various ways, so I'm still thinking about that one.
- RivieraKid 11y ago> no evidence that time is an extra dimension (like the spatial dimensions) in anything but a mathematical sense What do you mean by time being an extra dimension in non-mathematical sense? Dimensions and space are mathematical concepts.
- Ono-Sendai 11y agoSome people think that time is physically similar to space, e.g. that their is something 'out there', physically existing, which we call space-time.
