I think it's a question of relativity. To people observing it from "outside" it is three-dimensional. But to a being trapped on it's surface, it would appear to be two-dimensional.

Your mass is not hurtling through space and time if time does not change. My question is: What is causing (forcing) time to change? What force caused yesterday to become today? What force will cause today to become tomorrow?

I cannot disagree with the logic of your argument.

Sorry to be so confusing. My reference to muons was simply an introduction to the idea of a "fifth force. In retrospect, I should have left it out and just jumped directly into my question about time as a force. My sincere apologies to muon fans.

We all know the four fundamental forces in physics: gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong and weak nuclear forces; and there is now some discussion about a fifth, more obscure force involving muons. But I have a question; could the fifth force be something we deal with every day? Could it...
