What? Everytime I meet other people we always arange ourselves in the shape of a simplex of the appropriate dimension. Doesn't everyone?
-
So the fifth person to arrive moves to the centre of the tetrahedron and shifts roughly 1.299m into the past or future.
I have a few questions.
- How do you attain time offset?
- Doesn't that make conversation difficult?
- What even is the fifth dimension?
- How do you convert a distance in metres into a distance in time? You would surely then have a universal m/s? Oh, wait, there is a universal speed, it's the speed of light, which means 1.299m is equivalent to about 4.3 billionths of a second, which is considerably less impressive for question 1 and just not at all problematic for question 2.
- If you're using very fast motion for your time offset, doesn't that make conversation even more difficult? How fast would you need to be going to dilate time for a few billionths of a second? Doesn't Heisenberg uncertainty start to have an impact here? How can you be sure you got it right?

If you have to ask, you wouldn't understand.

If I understood, I wouldn't have to ask.

- So, the diagram doesn't represent it well, but the 1.5m is a minimum. So, I just delay myself by half a heartbeat which is well over 4.3^e-9s.
-
Yes, but if they're just minimums, there's no need for even using the third dimension, let alone the fourth.
-
Oh, I may have violated distancing protocols then. My personal delay device doesn't have sub-microsecond accuracy. Should I will have gotten a test for time-invariant COVID ?
-
I won't tell if you won't tell.
