What is meant by 4th dimension?

In: Physics [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

When a reference is used to four-dimensional co-ordinates, it is likely that what is referred to is the three spatial dimensions plus a time-line.

Lengh X Width X Height X Time + Love :)

ANSWER

Not counting virtual reality, everything you know of is four-dimensional.

The fourth dimension is probably the hardest dimension to understand. It's made up of 4 parts, length x width x depth x time( L x W x De x t). Therefore, there really is no visual object that is not four-dimensional.
