The fourth dimension, represented by the tesseract, evokes the Marvel universe and appears in Christopher Nolan's movie "Interstellar" as a structure that allows interaction with the past. We recall scenes from movies like "Contact" where characters have the opportunity to heal emotional relationships.
Albert Einstein described the universe as a four-dimensional space-time, with three spatial dimensions and one temporal. Time can expand or contract due to speed and gravity, making it subjective and variable. This notion challenges the linear perception of time, similar to Salvador Dalí's soft clocks in "The Persistence of Memory."
Movies and music come together to transport us through time, from old photographs to pocket watches. The fourth dimension can be imagined through the coordinates x, y, z, t (time), just as we visualize a square in two dimensions and a cube in three.
Literature also explores the nature of time, challenging solid structures as they dissolve into melancholic landscapes. Works like "Somewhere in Time" embody the romantic expression of time, while Kubrick's works, inspired by authors like Arthur C. Clarke and Stephen King, manipulate narrative to uniquely experience stories.
In a flight that defies the perception of time, the duration of the experience can distort, recalling moments like those narrated by Carl Sagan in "Contact." As movies immerse us in surreal worlds like "2001: A Space Odyssey" and "The Shining," time becomes a magical component of the narrative. The strategic dosing of time in these stories plunges us into alternative realities where temporal conventions are redefined. The experience of flying through multiple time zones in a brief span emphasizes the relativity and malleability of this concept.
