Default Space-Time.... 5 dimensions?

So I'm sitting at the strip club last night, getting a dance, and I start thinking about space-time. Yeah I'm weird like that.

Space has 3 dimensions, as we all know, length, width, height. Time is considered the 4th, as it basically describes the 'state' of space at a given point in time. The coordinates x,y,z, and t represent our universe.

But when given examples of the affects of gravity on space-time, it's usually described as a 2 dimensional plane, with large objects making a 3rd dimensional depression in the plane, representing gravity. Time is then introduced to help describe the path of objects moving along these depressions. ergo, 4 dimensional space. But there is no up down dimension that isnt described by gravity.

So if we make a 3 dimensional space, add time (4th), and gravity (5th), then a more accurate map is drawn. The 3 dimensional space is as we know it, time is abstract, and gravity would be described as as the amount of curvature at a specific 3d coord. Imagine it as a single point, with an infinite number of 2d planes intersecting at that point, but with a third dimensional gravity depression in them.

/stream of consciousness puke

And yes, she had a rather, nice, rear end. Had some strong attractive forces to it.

Cocoa powder and milk. But something's been added.

Not math.... strippers.

Think of money wielding customers as gravity pits and the strippers looking to make money as objects passing through space. As they approach a customer, they are drawn to them. The more money the customer possesses, the more attracted the strippers. Now add multiple floors to this strip club, and magical strippers that can pass through floors. Over time, the strippers will be drawn towards the richer customers, either moving laterally, or up down stairs to them. Hence a 5th dimensional strip club.

Now if we include the concept of hawking radiation, where the customers money is slowly evaporated over time, the gravitational pull of the customer decreases, the strippers will then migrate towards other customers as the 'gravity' well of now broke customers disappear.

Yes, I'm spending too much time in strip clubs. But I do get a lot of critical thinking done there.

I love the concept, but what the hell is a strip club?

No, not really. I've been there since the late '80s...

I think we are having a hard enough time defining a fourth dimension without worrying about a fifth?

I have a great big honking huge book on gravity, and 3/4 of it is nothing but formulas I don't understand.

But I have it, so there!

So what about the gravitational pull of the strippers pulling more customers towards a singularity?

Is it a Vegas strip club?
Is it an Oregon SC?

They have bigger bills.
