For all of history (which we will get to later), people have wondered if they could travel time, as long as there has been a past, people have wanted to live in it. As long as there will be a future, people will dream of it. But what is time? That seems to be a question capable of capturing minds and driving philosophy forward. Why is that question different from 'What is distance?' ? Is it just because with distance I can always go back?

Many great thinkers claim that 'Time is a curve, that lays thread in an ever-growing ball'. If that is true, then each geometric point is actually a line, a temporal line. This would mean that each geometric line is a te moral plane, and each geometric plane is a temporal... cube? This temporal cube would consist of x, y and t (A variable I have chosen to be the time of occurrence). That is easy to wrap your mind around because it's just layers of physical reality. But when we throw z into the equation, you get a dimension (Infinite cube, length, width and depth) with another coordinate, time.

This is a great theory, and it all sounds like it makes sense. But does it help at all? And can any of it be proven? You can't exactly draw it out on paper, I have found it difficult to graphically express time.

It is my personal belief that time and religion have a lot in common, both exist outside what can be proven, thus both require faith, faith in their existence just because they cannot be disprove n (Which will be further discussed in my next essay. ).
