Hm...i've read this entire thread, taken a look at everything here, and selected certain things i'd like to reply to.

0 and 1? What's that supposed to mean, the first dimension and non-existence?
And okay, the fourth dimension may or may not be time, but assuming that it is, then we could travel all throughout time, not just back and forth. But assuming that it isn't time then does anyone have any ideas about what it could be? I mean the fourth dimension might just be the whole negative speed thing. But like I said negative velocity is like taking nothing and collapsing it, you just can't do it as you already have nothing and you can't get much less than that.

Time travel isn't really possible you see. Heres one way of looking at it. Time is the delay between 2 events. Events like these require motion. Motion is a form of energy. In order to go back in time, you would have to negate motion, and all that does is negate energy. Enery doesn't really have a point beyond 0, and besides that, you literally CANT negate energy. So there ya go.

Ever consider that maybe THERE IS NO 4TH DIMENSION?!

No. If we did, we'd be inhuman.

Wow, I think that's the longest reply I've ever seen. And I guess that it makes sense that the fourth dimesion is movement.
Edit: It also makes sense with the other things. Like it's sitting there in a line. Then it is spread out along a horizontal (or vertical it doesn't matter) plane and then taking the existing one and spreading all over the other plane (the one you didn't use). So that means that the third dimension is the equivelant of the 0 dimension of normal space. Also, it doesn't have to be multiple universes, it could be that it exists in all states at the same time.
And has anyone noticed that we aren't really on the topic of negaticve speed anymore or has that already been solved?
And somebody said something about antimatter. I don't know who but I have an interesting paradox for you. In the laws of physics (I think) it says something about matter cannot be destroyed or created. If that's the case, then what happens to the matter and antimatter particles when they collide? I just thought that was interesting.

First off, a good way to look at time is using color, like with a grayscale. White is current time, and everything below that is further into the past, with black being the supposed beginning of time.
As for antimatter, its just the exact same combination of the its counterpart, with opposite charges. Its like putting +1 and -1 together, you get a zero, which is actually an explosion or "release" in energy.

All of that is theoretical, as we have no idea what happens in the center of a black hole. Theoretically there could exsist another universe inside a black hole. The thing is we cannot see into a black hole, because gravity is too strong for anything to escape, therefor we cannot determine what sort of action goes on inside. Things go in, nothing comes out, does that sound like a transportation system to you?

Hm..i've been considering something. Why is it that a black hole is circular? why is it that it only spreads out in a tornado-like formation. If it were really a single point, wouldnt the outer area be a sphere? There must be more to it then this. And another thing, should the possibility of Black Holes leading somewhere be true, wouldn't it also be true that there is an opposite of a black hole? Not a "white" hole, but something that spews out matter, rather then sucking it in. Seems like something to think over if you ask me.
