Your point is unclear. How would you explain and describe e.g. time dilation without invoking Lorentz transformations?

If you say that the past does not exist - them how would you be born?
If you say that the future does not exist - will you never die?
I can die die now.
Seriously. It is like you have never met tense.
fabianfnas, unless you rehabilitate, shut up and leave me alone.

There is a patient in UK, after an accident, has lost the perception of time. Some part of his brain is damaged. He doesn't understand the flow of time anymore. He cannot feel the past, nor he cannot plan for the future. For him 'now' is a unchangeable eternal state.
I'm glad I am not him.

Sorry, I'll try and break it down into plane English.
Originally posted by @twhiteheadI'd have thought that a 'dimension' is a math term. is it not? We are free in theory to move any direction within the three spatial dimensions. Are we free in theory to move through the fourth time dimension?
... Hence a dimension is required.

Reality has no obligation to conform to math dimensions.
