Spacetime, which consists of 3 spatial dimensions and one complex time dimension, is mathematically equivalent to a 4-dimensional space. And that 4-D model happens to imitate the real world. So we call time the 4th dimension.
If I recall correctly, there is a spacetime equality that goes something like this:
x^2 + y^2 + z^2 - t^2 = c^2
where t is the velocity along the time axis, c is the speed of light, and x, y, and z are velocity along the axes for 3-D space.
Thus, as you go faster in physical space (x, y, and z), your speed along the time axis slows down. If you could somehow achieve the speed of light in 3-D space, time would literally stand still.

The Mythbusters did a show on the "Woman impregnated by bullet" and busted it. They were able to show that the multiple layers of clothes worn during that time would have been too thick for the bullet to have hit and penetrated both people.

But he was right about the wall-to-wall televisions...

It's back up.
Wow, that's a weird effect.

It was posted on The Presurfer last week. Maybe that's where you remember it from.

"possibly" I meant "possibly".

It's very simple: when police or other law enforcement officials tell you to do something, just do it. If you get argumentative, belligerent, or violent, they're most likely going to arrest you and possible subdue you with force. If they're wrong, get a lawyer and sue--but do that later.

I used to scuba dive. There'd be a fish within an arm's length, and I'd reach out to touch it. With a flick of it's tail it'd be gone--faster than I could move my hand through the water. Fish are much faster than they seem.

Hah! My blog has a 1% rating. Try and beat that!

I can definitely confirm that this is happening in Denver, CO. Lots of expensive condos in and around downtown.

@ted - because the notation was introduced by a Polish mathematician. For more info, do a Wikipedia search on "reverse polish".

(?x)^2 + (?y)^2 + (?z)^2 - (c^2)((?t)^2) = s^2
where x, y, and z are defined in meters.
where t is defined in seconds.
where c is the speed of light in meters/second
where s is a constant defined in meters
