I hate when people spit out this nonsense about fourth dimensional creatures being able to traverse time as we can traverse space.
This is not true. When referring to the fourth dimension, we’re referring to a fourth spatial dimension. In our reality, we have three spatial dimensions and one temporal dimension.
In space, we can travel forwards/backwards, left/right, and up/down. Time, however, can travel in only one direction: forwards. Hence, our reality has three dimensions of space and one dimension of time. If you wanted to add a fourth dimension, you’d be referring to adding a fourth spatial dimension, because there are not three temporal dimensions to add a fourth to.
That fourth space dimension is often referred to as “triength” and cannot be perceived nor comprehended by our three dimensional brains. While it’s hard to explain exactly what it is, I can tell you what it’s not: the ability to freely move through time.
