Sorry,
you’re still wrong. time doesnt describe a spatial dimension. If i say i am meeting someone on a streetcorner, sure, time is a factor. BUT if i am describing the location of Times Square to you, time is most assuredly NOT a needed descriptor.
As to Airliners, Spaceships, GPS, and slowing time. Surely* you do not suggest that the mere accounting for mechanical signals lags, due to varying distances, somehow suggests that some form of time travel has occurred? Are you kidding? That time has actually slowed? Inaccuracy in measuring devices is *not* the same as time actually passing slower. Get it? Dont believe everything claimed today in the name of physics. A clock running slower, isn’t magically making time pass slower. Its an accuracy problem.
>>A clock running slower, isn’t magically

The accelerated clock in Einsteins paradox “runs” slower, not because time itself is going slower - but because the mass of the clock itself is increased as the result of being accelerated. The localized increase of mass translates into a localized increase in energy == localized increase in spatial distortion.
Time is measured by observing a change in the state of a system.
Higher mass = higher inertia and more energy required to overcome that inertia. The increase in localized mass/energy/spatial distortion also means the distances *within* the system itself increase with acceleration.
As to the problem of the missing “Dark Energy”; that will be resolved with the realization that energy is not something that exists separately within space; but that energy IS space, or more precisely the localized distortion of space.
Thats what I think, anyhow...
I didn't say it was a "spatial" dimension. I said it was A dimension as space (x, y and z) are dimensions. However, since the speed of light is observed to be the same from any point of view, it means that both space (x, y, and z) and time (t) cannot be absolutes: they vary according to one's particular state of motion with respect to another's. There is no such thing as absolute time, according to Einstein's theory of SR.
You apparently aren't very familar with atomic clocks.
Accuracy is not a problem.
There are measurable effects to time due to acceleration.
