but its not a unification into the fourth dimensional continuum
we dont even know if such a continuum exist
time could exist with the first and second dimension its just a parameter of physical changes. not a dimension.
the first and second dimension wouldnt exist without time. it doesnt build on the third dimension.
it builds on the existence of everything. no time no nothing.
its not against you i just say because its not logical.
its not just words just think about it
What you're effectively saying is that time causes change, this is not true; time allows us (humans) to measure the rate of change by giving a point of reference, it doesn't affect (cause) change directly.
I personally don't believe that time exists outside of being a human construct.
