A look at "Space-Time" and the "Arrow of Time" in an attempt to demystify the "fourth dimension."
I have a problem both with "time" and in particular "Space-Time." In my mind the physical universe is made up of entanglements - two things tied up together at the quantum level. It is these entanglements which make up what's known as "Space-Time." Once things are entangled they cannot be "untangled" - thus the Arrow of Time (and entropy) pointing in only one direction. Entropy and gravity are intertwined at the quantum level. Exactly how and why is where the mystery lays. Once we fully understand this - then we will finally know what "time" actually is.
At some point I want to put down my thoughts on the physics Holy Trinity of Space, Time and Reality.
