   The argument that they are making about time (not being "the 4th dimension")   
   is pseudo-scientific and ridiculous, based on their ignorance of what it   
   means when we say "4th dimension" in that regard (which I just explained to   
   you in detail).  Scientifically it is complete nonsense to say "every   
   dimension has time in it" as they do.   
      
   *Their* ignorance is excusable, though, because they are just a high school   
   kid and are not expected to know about or understand pseudo-Riemannian   
   manifolds like spacetime (although they could have certainly have found   
   books that explained it at their level of understanding).  Yours is not (as   
   I just explained it to you in detail).
