true, unless you are Minkowski, but while time is not techincally the fourth dimension, through the concept of tesserecting it is convenient to think of the fourth dimension and time in a similar way, as time is a movement. The Uncertainty Principle makes time rather impossible to calibrate in the first place, time is essentially a man-made invention to describe natural events in a way which the limited perspective of a person not on psychedelic drugs can readily understand.
while the fourth dimension is spatial and not time, the idea of the movement within the space is similar to the human concept of time.
