Not One or Four...but TEN Dimensions.

Ennui, time is NOT a spacial dimension :)

I highly recommend the book 'flat landers', it's all about this.
 
Time as the 4th dimension is just the label we have given it.

The universe doesn't think "ah time is my 4th dimension" or anything like that, it's not absolute.
 
Incorrect. Theories do not ever become methods, theories are always theories. Methods are the actions you take based on a theory. If you fail and your predictions dont work out, you first change the method, if after multiple methods fail you can claim the theory is false and add/subtract/change it until it fits the evidence.

Here:

HYPOTHESIS
|
Test----False
| |
| Throw hypothesis out
True
|
Test again and again----False
| |
| Throw hypothesis out

True
|
after mulitple successful tests, it becomes a THEORY
|
Test again and again, make predictions (methods)
|
If false throw out, if true continue to test and make predictions


Another misconception is that a theory somehow becomes a law. This is also untrue, because a theory often contains multiple laws. Laws are simple statements or formulas which yield predictable results, such as newtons three laws of motion, which make up the newtonian theory of motion, or the laws of thermodynamics, which make up the theory of thermodynamics. Thus, a theory cannot be a law unless the theory itself is a simple formula or statement.
Well, that is what I had in mind, but I didn't explain it correctly :p
