Reply to comment by fauxpas0101 in ELI5: If time is the fourth dimension, then what force is pushing us through it? by quacduck
> It's important to note that the concept of time as the fourth dimension is a purely human construct, used to describe the progression of events and to provide a frame of reference for understanding the world around us. The concept of time does not have a physical existence in the same way that other dimensions, such as length, width, and height, do.
This is absolutely false. Spacetime is the fabric of reality, as described in Einsteins Special theory of Relativity, which is one of the most tested and proven scientific theories ever created.
Time is not a "thought construct". It is an actual dimension of reality
