The 5th dimension is time.

We know time is perceived differently under different circumstances. If the 5th dimension is time, Time Two varies about zero value causing time to flow like a fun house mirror. Why couldn't one of the extra dimensions be time rather than spatial? That would allow us to explain several time related paradoxes.
The big story a few months ago was the oil disaster in the Gulf. Last week the big story was the explosion in San Bruno at a PG&E installation. Then there have been the mine cave-ins and several other problems most of which have resulted in multiple deaths. The common thread running through all of these accidents is the inattention by the owners (read irresponsible corporations) to designated safety issues. In most cases the corporations involved accepted penalties as a cost of doing business and went on using the dangerous equipment, further risking lives. In the end, even when stuck with reasonable fines, the fines are never paid but as in the case of the Exxon Valdez oil spill the fines were substantially reduced to 10 % of the assigned fine by corporate owned judges on appeal and even then the pay out was stalled as long as possible before the citizens who were harmed finally received the pittance due. All the result of Bush Cheney administration policies.
Corporations that have no end are proof that we're all on this flight together.
