This is a question Stupid Colleagues

Godwin's Lawyer tells us: "I once worked with a lad who believed 'Frankenstein' was based on a true story, and that the book was written by Shirley Bassey." Tell us about your workplace dopes.

That's a bit harsh.
There are only 3 physical dimensions, and any beyond that are in the realm of quantum physics, so not really common knowledge to the man in the street. 4D cinema experiences do tend to supplement the 3D screen image with tactile feedback so, in that sense, the fourth dimension would be feel (unless they've developed a time travelling cinema whilst I wasn't paying attention).

Was she really wilfully ignorant, or just not particularly knowledgeable in the field of mathematics?

Time
is not common knowledge? That explains why I can't operate my digital watch, then.

You will not be the one
to get me that time travelling cinema, will you?

Either you have been watching too much Doctor Who
or you think the mathematics of Minkowski is common knowledge. Even in relativity, time isn't treated as a dimension in the same sense that the three 'common' dimensions are.

But you can feel my fourth dimension anytime. If you know what I'm saying. Eh? Eh?
