    Whenever you give a cross-street, a building floor, and a meeting time, you're handing someone a 4D coordinate in space-time.

        @neiltyson That's why I tell my coworkers I made a 4th dimension miscalculation when I'm late to the office.

        @Drstevenhobbs But Earth is moving through it, the co-ordinate in space-time would whisk away immediately.

        @christilton thats the thing...the time coordinate takes into account to motion. Without the process of time, it would only be 3D

        @neiltyson If string theory turns out to be correct, it would more like an 11D coordinate, then we'd be in real trouble.
