3+1, not 4D (we cannot move freely in time). They're referencing the holographic universe theory, or holographic principle. PBS Spacetime has a good episode on the holographic universe theory.

YOU can't move freely in time. Don't speak for me.

Ok, I can't either. But still...

I think I can move freely in time, just not voluntarily...

Sometimes I go through a whole day in like a minute, sometimes I blink and it's Monday already.

Or maybe it's working nights has that effect?

So, I can freely move through time if I consider alcohol as my time machine.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

That’s more skipping forward in time, but then slowing down time when you come to the next day.

Freely means both directions, not just different speeds in one direction.

[–] nixfreak@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago

lol everything is relative.

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You move through time every second...

[–] Donjamos@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Walk in the other direction then, let's see how that goes.

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world -4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That not how you do it. Watch a documentary called edge of all we know. Someone much smarter then you has that opinion.

Moving through time is not equal to having free motion through time. It should frankly be embarassing to you for failing to understand that basic fact of reality...

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sure you know more then the wheel chair guy gj

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm sorry the nuance of 3+1 eludes you, but your snark still does not make you correct.

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world -1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Snark and fact are 2 different things. Sorry you disagree with the wheel man and I don't. Enjoy your earth centric view of the universe.

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

If you think 3+1 is Earth centric then you're dumber than I thought... Sad day.

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world -1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Sure u know more then the wheel chair man.

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Stephen Hawking thought far beyond your understanding of spacetime and frequently said there may be up to 11 dimensions to all of reality, so yet again, you're just proving your profound ignorance.

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world -1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

So much just to say your not wrong so if he said 11 d then your 3d model is wrong by your own definition. Please read before you write

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

lol! Trying to claim correctness after you fail repeatedly to understand what 3+1 means... Genuinely, you're pathetic.

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago

You're an actual psycho.
