you can call time the fourth dimension, or you can move time (since time is a whole other concept in itself) to dimension-0. i prefer to view time as dimension-0, but it's a matter of preference. when it comes down to it it's all non-euclidean space-time.
No you can't.
Now I know that some people (not all) do that, but that is nonsensical. 2 dimensional objects are made up of 1 dimensional object, 3 dimensional of 2, and so on. So logically, 1 dimensional objects (lines) would be made up on 0 dimensional object. So... A line is made up of time? Points are Time? That doesn't make sense. People that call time Dimension 0 already admit that they are separating spatial dimensions from the timeline, so what is up with the half-assed classification? ("Canada isn't part of the United States, so let’s call it state 0!")
Dimension-0 better fits as a geometric point, a location lacking depth, width, and length but still existing. When one doesn't consider time to be the 4th dimension (especially as it would be the only dimension to necessitate movement), it gets placed on a separate dimensional scale. Instead of time being the 4th dimension, we could say that there are 3 (or more) spatial dimensions and 1 (or more) temporal dimensions.
With Chrono Theory added in, Home and Another world would seemingly exist along the 4th spatial dimension (3 dimensional "obbjects" separated by a 4th dimensiona space), while Time and Time Error would exist as the 1st and 2nd temporal dimensions.
The DBT could exist entirely on the spatial dimensional scale and not the temporal dimensional scale; however that causes a problem for Time Bastard Theory (which doesn't mean either theory is inherently wrong, but that they are in conflict); if the DBT helps preserve matter (so that it is neither created nor destroyed due to Time Travel causing new time lines), it would seemingly have no appreciable length, width, depth, etc. The only thing that would exist there is information (as likewise, information cannot be destoryed; see the Information Paradox). This is curious as it would seemingly not exist on either dimensional scale then (though possibly still being a geometric point, yet if it is a geometric point containing only information, it would be quite similar to a black hole itself).
Yeah, but the robots weren't created by the earth. They didn't evolve naturally, but scientifically. And anyways, they weren't created to destroy human life...I don't think you could call the Mother Brain's malfunction a natural evolution...>_>
Well supposedly Humans, as they exist in the series, weren't created by the earth either. Side note, is it even legitimate to distinguish science from nature, as science is supposed to represent nature? Besides, Reptites weren't created to destroy human life either. If that counts as natural evolution, why not Mother Brain's genocidal tenancies? Survival of the Fittest, after all. Getting rid of the competition is fairly natural.
Yet if we consider humans to be a product of the Planet regardless of Lavos' influence, then Robots are in turn also a product of the planet via humans.
To extrapolate: Would you say that humans are enough "of the planet" to be considered natural and acceptable to the Entity? Well then, what of a clone (like Kid)? Created entirely through artificial means, such a thing would exist apart from nature? If a clone can be made to be "natural," why the distinction between organic and mechanic constructs?
Radiation from *our* sun(which is extra-terrestrial, by the way) has actually accelerated the natural process of evolution by inadvertently damaging our DNA; so who's to say that Lavos's radiation is pushing evolution in the wrong way...
Actually, I didn't say that. That was BROJ.
