Since it is the fifth. Let’s talk about the Fifth Dimension.
You may be asking, “What is it, exactly?”
I’m glad you asked.
In physics and mathematics, the term “fifth dimension” is often used in the context of “higher-dimensional” spaces beyond our familiar three dimensions. Those three dimensions, of course, would be length, width, and height (or depth). Then, we have our fourth dimension, which would be time.
So, in other words, the places we do not quite understand.
These additional dimensions are typically brought forth in theories like string theory and some variations of supergravity.
But we won’t go all “super physics mumbo jumbo” today.
Instead, I just have a simple question for everyone, and here it is.

Okay. The question:
“If you could time travel, would you visit the past, the future, a different place in space, or stay in the present?”

“Time travel used to be thought of as just science fiction, but Einstein’s general theory of relativity allows for the possibility that we could warp space-time so much that you could go off in a rocket and return before you set out.” – Stephen Hawking

“Time travel is the concept of moving between different points in time in a manner analogous to moving between different points in space.” – Stephen Hawking

“People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint – it’s more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly… time-y wimey… stuff.” – The Doctor (Doctor Who)

Time to go. Go, go, go.
