I meant to ignore it. Do you believe in space-time continuum?
I think it can be consistent with the c-series of John McTaggart.

For general relativity the shape of space-time does not change in time but rather exists as a complete timeless object.

What is C-series? I know other two.

Could you please elaborate? There is no space-time continuum if there is no time.

The C series is non temporal, it involves no change, but only an order, and events have an order. The C series determines order but does not determine direction.

Minkowski space is a pseudo-Euclidean space with total dimension of four.

I think we are dealing with B-series here. That is true because we have nothing then something which means that one state follows another one. In another word, directionality is important for us.

That I know. The problem is one dimension in Minkowski space is time and we cannot drop it out.

For Minkowski space calculations we used x, y, x, ct in linear algebra.

The A-series plus c-series will work: it is sufficient to give time. The c-series has more than the b-series and replaces it. The c-series explains how an illusion of change and temporal succession can be in an atemporal reality; it includes mental states related by being included in and inclusive of.

The superstring theories I have studied, briefly, use either 10 or 11 dimensions.
