+As a matter of fact, in reality our relation both to the past and to the future is far more complicated than it seems to us. In the past, behind us, lies not only that which really happened, but that which could have been. In the same way, in the future lies not only that which will be, but everything that may be.
+The past and the future are equally undetermined, equally exist in all their possibilities, and equally exist simultaneously with the present.
+By time we mean the distance separating events in the order of their succession and binding them in different wholes. This distance lies in a direction not contained in three-dimensional space, therefore it will be the new dimension of space.
+This new dimension satisfies all possible requirements of the fourth dimension on the ground of the preceding reasoning.
+– P. D. Ouspensky, //[[http://www.sacred-texts.com/eso/to/to07.htm|Tertium Organum]]//
