The 4th dimension.

--- Quote from: Joker Card on August 09, 2009, 12:07:19 AM --- We being 3-d creatures can actually see the world in 3-d only, although we are continually travelling in the fourth dimension(the time dimension). If somehow we can see this world in 4-d then we may then travel in time.

Eh, the fourth dimension is usually not referred to as time. Time is a dimension, but this should explain the difference:
--- Quote from: Wikipedia ---This fourth spatial dimension is a concept distinct from the time dimension in spacetime, since time is functionally very different from any of the spatial dimensions; formally, spacetime is not an Euclidean space but a Minkowski space.

You don't really understand general and special relativity. Time will pass at a slower rate relative to you than the rest of the universe the faster you are moving. Traveling at the speed of light, the universal speed limit, would theoretically stop time relative to you. So, if you were moving extremely fast, not quite the speed of light, you might age an hour but have the universe age a year around you. Space and time are intimately connected.

Translation: Time seems to go faster when you fall asleep in the car.
I've heard it all. -_-
