# Physics. A physical property, such as mass, length, time, or a combination thereof, regarded as a fundamental measure or as one of a set of fundamental measures of a physical quantity: Velocity has the dimensions of length divided by time.
A dimension IS a measurement. How do we measure our world? We don't measure it in gallons. Gallons is a dimension, not of our world though. The dimensions of the world we live in are length, width, height, and time.
That also says the same thing as measurements. Lets look at time as a measurement of how many seconds I should go there to see you. This also applies to fallow which "way" to get to you--is not a way a longitude/latitude/altitude be considered a dimension with your thinking. Measurement is part of our way to interpret and comprehend. You can tell me what time to meet you, but without you telling me where then I have no idea where to go either. But the thing is (I do take in your opinion; maybe I'm not catching the whole jest of it. And maybe this will be a debate that can NEVER be settled.), how is this proving that time is a dimension? Because you can also say that measurements should be dimensions. Imagine: Width the 5th dimension.
Rofl. Width is one of the three first dimensions. Traditionally, it's the first dimension. It's not the 5th dimension. You can't imagine it as the 5th dimension, because you can't name 4 others to go before it.
Can we just ban Shinto from saying the words dimension, space, time, and theory?

Shinto, time is by definition the fourth dimension. If you would like, you could call it the first dimension (I believe), but by convention it is the fourth dimension. You could label it anything you like. You could call it disneyland if you wanted, but in the Physics world, time is the 4th dimension by convention.
