  1. fourth dimension

    The fourth dimension is often referred to as time in the context of spacetime, a concept used in physics. It is the idea that our three-dimensional universe is embedded in a four-dimensional realm, with time serving as the fourth dimension alongside length, width, and height. Alternatively, in the realm of pure mathematics or geometry, the fourth dimension can refer to a spatial concept, where it is an abstract construct that expands the conventional three spatial dimensions (length, width, and height) by adding an additional axis that is orthogonal (at a right angle) to the existing three. This abstract concept can be applied in various complex mathematical and physical theories. So, the specific connotation of "fourth dimension" can vary, depending on whether it is being used in a physics, mathematical or more abstract context.
