Try this Huck. The tree dimensions are up, down and depth.

Think of it as a cube. As you leave the cube the length, bredth and depth are frozen to you. In actuality that cube remains active, you just aren't aware of it.

Now move to a different cube that will be unfrozen to you when you arrive.

The first cube was the present. The second cube could be any time other than the present. The movement between cubes would be via the forth dimension.

Perhaps you and others will disagree that this describes the the four dimensions in an understandable way. It does for me.

You described 3 dimensions of space with 1 dimension of time. The idea is to describe 4 dimensions of space without using time, or even saying the word time.

OK...let me run this past you. Fourth dimension is like looking at a cube...you can see the three sides and the fourth side...unseen...is like the fourth dimension? I was not a math wiz. I am sensitive so don't laugh.

Yes, but if you could actually do that you would have to watch out for the Langoliers.
