Let me take a different view and path on the subject. I have been fond of physics and mathematics from the time i don't even remember. I remember the story one mathematician used, to stress on why it is difficult to realize and visualize more dimensions. The gist of that story is :
A single-dimension object wouldn't the be able to visualise a two-object as such; it will visualise the two-dimension object as a collection of single-dimension objects; similarly a two-dimension object will visualise the three-dimension object as a collection of two-dimension objects and so-on and so-forth. This is why a three-dimension object (as us) cannot really comprehend the concept of 4-dimensions and more dimensions.
Now, why this story is important to us? Because it not only shows that there is more to life than the eyes see and the brain comprehend, but it also shows, that it really depends on us what we want to see...
I have learnt that TIME is not only a dimension but it is much more. It provides more dimensions to life than we could imagine or comprehend. With time wounds heal, with time we learn to live, with time we learn to grow, we learn to enjoy, we learn to love. This learning increases with time and grows with life.
Life, without time, alone is as meaningless as time without life. It is irreverent to talk about one without referencing other. The whole concept of time is so much part of life that we cannot really think of it. Now, let us come back to the point, rather to dimensions.
Life shows us more dimensions than we could imagine, it moves us through different phases from place to place and what not! Dimensions, phew, it is really a very small space to talk about these!! Dimensions grow as we grow, as time grows and as life grows.
But dimensions are not limited to the PHYSICS or MATHEMATICS aspect of it. They go beyond, way way beyond the science of it... let us explore the different dimensions of life itself :)
Life, means different things to different people and it has different values to different stature of people. Some, perceive life as a gift, some perceive life as a result of bad deeds done in past life. The perceptions and their respective understandings keep on differing. But, what i find more interesting is that these keep on changing even for a person over a period of time.
As i go more and more into the topic, i find it interesting that how different things get linked from one another without looking similar. On a 1000Ft level we may find things as different as possible but when we move closer to the subject, it becomes increasingly woven into a pattern.
We find ourselves as much a part of that woven pattern, as any trivial animal or any tree or any thing which is part of our life. Some may call this divine, some may call this science, I don't categorise it anywhere. I take things (or rather these dimensions) as life itself.
I beleive time is life and life is time; and the way we spend our time is how our life shapes up.
Phew, that is it for now!! WILL DEFINITLEY BE BACK WITH MORE!!

This is a very very good point, I never thought about the time dimension from this view...
You are right, Time can't be without Life and Life can't be without Time.
Thank you for sharing us your thoughts.
