If spatial dimensions are flexible, then how do they vary when considering the first three dimensions alone? Isn't it only when time enters into the picture that length, width, and depth start to change? If so, then that would indicate that time was the variable rather than the spatial...

Thanks. So you just apply the same theory to the time line. I guess that that works. One other question: if time is a flexible dimension (based on relativity), why aren't the other three dimensions flexible as well?

Also, when considered with other aspects of relativity, wouldn't time more easily be understood as a perception of the infiniteness of space (for example, as one goes faster, the points separate [meaning that moving objects gain mass, or points] and the distance between places in the universe...

I've often heard that time was considered a dimension, but I don't understand how this is possible as it invalidates the idea of motion. Take a simple number line for example. This is considered the first dimension. A point can be at any place on said number line. Moving on up to the second...
