It's a story about dimensions. I tried to write it simply, but it is difficult because of the content.
▷ Understanding dimensions
There are pictures and stories that help people understand dimensions.
0-dimensional, where there are only points without any width or height. If you continuously record the movement of the point over time = 1-dimensional. In a one-dimensional line, if the position of the line changes over time, that is, if the time axis is treated as space = two-dimensional If we treat the change in time of a two-dimensional surface as space = three dimensions
A friendly explanation that makes it very easy to understand and imagine lower dimensions.
▷ Then the 4th dimension is the 3rd dimension time axis as space…
If we connect the stories above, this is a part that we have come to imagine too naturally. If we reflect the time axis into space, it will become four-dimensional, right?
That is, the imagination is that in a four-dimensional world, the three-dimensional past, present, and future will appear to exist in one space.
The Tesseract space that Cooper showed in Interstellar is the most direct visualization of this fourth dimension as a “timeless space.” Here Cooper is shown accessing all time, past, present and future.
Every time I see this scene, I think of bismuth metal crystals lol
It's just one of those fun imaginations that came from the easy- to-understand metaphor that continued from right above: "The time axis merges into space."
Unfortunately, this has “no scientific basis” and even “scientific errors.”
As the title suggests, this is a typical example of a case where the desire to “easily explain dimensions to the general public” created incorrect common sense. I feel very disappointed whenever many science YouTubers seriously explain this by saying, “This is what the 4th dimension is like!”
In both low and high dimensions, the time axis always “exists separately.” And unlike space, it maintains a single directionality (entropy increase = time passing). Even in higher-dimensional theories, time is still one-dimensional, and any additional dimensions are spatial dimensions . Even when we move to higher dimensions, the time axis always “exists separately and is not included” in the space axis.
When we treat time like space, we begin to contradict all the laws of physics, including conservation of energy, causality, and the laws of thermodynamics. That is, the very basis for defining dimensions is being denied.
The Tesseract scene in the movie Interstellar is a science fiction device that visualizes "four-dimensional space," and Kip Thorne, who served as scientific advisor, also stated that it is a "scientific imagination." Of course, there are no great science fiction masterpieces like Interstellar that provide interesting imaginations about such high dimensions!
▷ Just an explanation that is easy for non-experts to understand
In general, dimension refers to the number of degrees of freedom . The space we live in is expressed as a four-dimensional space-time with three spatial dimensions and one time dimension. Here, time is also considered a "dimension", but it has a different character from space. Time is irreversible, is connected to entropy, and is treated differently in the equations of motion. This tells us that the time dimension is fundamentally different from the space dimension. The time axis can never be joined to space.
I'm already starting to get a headache from uncommon words, so I use easy explanations.
There is very little in actual physics or mathematics where time is treated like space. Even when it is used occasionally, it is used for “convenience of temporary calculations”, such as Euclidean spacetime (Wick rotation), spacetime unification of relativity , and Penrose diagram . Even this separates the time dimension again in the final result. In no case does the time axis change into space. Even this mathematical convenience is never interpreted as time itself physically changing into space.
For the convenience of calculation, only a very small number of calculations use the “time=space” dimension! In reality, time≠space
The hypothesis that the fourth dimension is a space that integrates three-dimensional space-time is treated as nothing more than a science fiction imagination. Naturally, it is impossible to verify theoretically. Even in the 'superstring theory', which is receiving attention as 'the only theory explaining the universe', time is still a separate dimension among the 11 dimensions. The remaining 7 dimensions are spatial dimensions, but are not observed in reality (compactness assumption).
That is, the explanation that "4 dimensions = 3 dimensions + spatialized time" is not scientific at all . However, it can be seen as a distortion that occurs in the process of simplifying and conveying complex concepts, and as it spreads, it becomes a common misconception.
▷ What would the real 4th dimension be like?
There is also a saying that we live in a world of 4-dimensional space-time, which is made up of 3-dimensional space + 1-dimensional time. Of course, we are still talking about the 'fourth dimension' limited to spatial dimensions, so we will skip the above topic.
Although we live in a three-dimensional space, our brain reconstructs the three-dimensional space very precisely based on the visual information received in two dimensions (the light source engraved on the retina is two-dimensional). That is, rather than actually seeing the third dimension, we perceive the third dimension through imagination and experience. For us who understand the third dimension in our heads, the fourth dimension is difficult to even imagine.

Ultimately, four-dimensional space cannot be 'perceived' or 'experienced', so we have no choice but to rely on our imagination.

So, it's really disappointing to see other users not even reading other people's posts and writing duplicate posts without hesitation.

Of course, I know the reason, but I have tried to write something worth reading because I don't want to write a single article in vain.

One cafe I use warns users to delete meaningless posts of less than 3 lines for promotion purposes, and in severe cases, even expels them (this was a necessary measure because it is connected to a second-hand marketplace).

Sometimes I wonder if this kind of action is necessary for the mud that runs all day.

It's not my place to write such strange things that have nothing to do with games.

This is such a stupid thing to say, but since this is a place where people just spit out whatever nonsense they want, I'm just going to say it.

Hello! This is Indie Manager!

Today, May 22nd, Playx4 2025 has started!

We will talk with those who are planning to visit,

To convey the atmosphere of the site to those who are not visiting!

(👉 Playx4, which is regrettable just by looking at it, is available at the online exhibition hall! )

Indie Manager Reporter has been there🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

So, shall we begin?

🎉 Opening

Aren't opening ceremonies always the same?😑 → ㄴ😮ㄱ !!

The opening ceremony was held to explain the outline and significance of the event through card magic, and to ensure that the slogan, “More than a game,” was naturally recognized!

Unlike other events' opening ceremonies, it's not boring, but rather exciting and fun!

🌈 STOVE WONDER WORLD

Wonder World Standby... Open! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

The flower of the event 🌹 This is the stove booth! Even though it was the first day, so many people came!

<Claire Obscure: Expedition 33>, <VEDA>, <If Sunset>, <Archetype Blue>, <Alleyway>, <The Maid of the Storm>, <Six Star Gate: Stargazer>!

Don't forget to participate in 7 activities and get goods! 👉 STOVE WONDER WORLD

🏆 Game Audition

One of the great things about Playx4 is that you can see the Top 10 games of the Gyeonggi Game Audition and meet the final winner.

This is a booth you can't miss as it has so many great indie games gathered in one place!

This year, you can see the TOP 10 games in one place again!

This year's STOVE Indie Pick will also be revealed on Saturday, May 24th! What game will it be? I'm looking forward to it🤗

For those who are disappointed that they can't visit the site? 👨‍💻 Go play the Gyeonggi Game Audition TOP10

👨‍🏫 Take a look around our B2C booth

It's not as good as STOVE Wonder World, but there were a ton of booths and facilities. And food trucks can't be left out of Playx4, right? 🍔🚚

Among them, I couldn't just pass up the indie game booth!

The place where creators and users' passion for making and playing meet!! 🔥So Hot🔥

🎃 Indie Manager Recommendation

Among them, there is a game that the indie manager would like to secretly recommend!

Two titles that have entered the online exhibition hall so you can play them comfortably at home!

<Guardians of Restoration> and <Greytail>!
👨‍💻 : <Guardians of Restoration> is a title whose official version has been released.
👩‍💻: <Graytail> is a title that has been recognized for its quality as the winner of the last Gyeonggi Game Audition.

Why not try playing it while participating in the online exhibition event ?

👩‍🏫 Tour the B2B booth

A familiar title from the B2B section! This is a welcome title for users in the indie community, right?

There were also some booths that seemed familiar but were new!

A game born from the collaboration between Walnut Punch X Milk Empire! This is <Made Defense: Little Frontline>.
(It's a secret, but this is a title that will be released in the store!)

The B2B Hall is open to the general public on Saturdays and Sundays, so be sure to stop by if you plan to visit on the weekend!

🎃 Indie Manager Recommendation

We can't leave out the B2B section recommendations!

Likewise, two titles have entered the online exhibition hall!

<Peng Pong> and <Otaku of Destruction>!

<Peng Pong> Clear screen! Unique art style with old animation concept. The snake-like pinball action using the puck was quite refreshing!

<Otaku of Destruction> has increased in volume compared to the first public build, so don't miss it and play it!

That's all for our tour of Playx4!

I hope you enjoy PlayX4 both online and offline! Indie Manager will now step aside. 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♀️
