   'Space' is often thought of as having 3 'dimensions'   
   whereas 'time' is often thought of as having one.   
   It is possible for many people to conceive of spatial dimensions   
   in a photograph or painting being set in a specific time.   
      
   There is a specific set of philosophic ideas referred to as   
   'philosophic idealism' and 'philosophic materialism'.   
      
   I once remember reading in an astronomy magazine about 10 or   
   20 years ago where material streaming from maybe a pulsar   
   or quasar of going faster than light upon one vector direction   
   but not necessarily across the vector that the mass material   
   was going.  In other words, since the mass stream was going at   
   an angle it was going 'faster than light' in comparison with   
   another reference frame.  Then there is something called   
   Cherenkov radiation that deals with light not in a vacuum.   
      
   These specific 'ideas' in this circumstance are conveyed by   
   a mechanism known of as 'writing', however images or sounds   
   that are not in the form or writing might theoretically   
   potentially have meaning also in some circumstances.  That   
   meaning might vary between different people at times.
