I am in the Einstein boat on this one smithjustinb, that Time is Relative.

Dangit Justin! What's it going to take to get you to realize the first three are TIME? You cannot move without Time, therefore you cannot Measure anything without Time.
So subjectively speaking, your first three dimensions combine for measuring the One Spacial Dimension and the fourth is the Timordial Dimension, and the only thing missing is the other Spacial Dimension under this One, to complete the Trinality of the Universe.

does a fly with a 24 hour lifespan experience time the same way as person with a 100 year lifespan?
We have no real way of knowing if a minute in the 3rd dimension is experienced the same in the 5th dimension.
For example, if you lived a mile from the grocery store in the 3rd dimension and it took you 15 minutes to walk there in the 4th or 5th dimension if you lived a "mile" from the grocery store it might take you only seconds or maybe hours to walk there.
Interesting topic....

You cannot move without time. True. You cannot move without space either, but you don't need three dimensions of space for movement, you can move on a plane as a 2d object (theoretically). You do, however, need the one dimension of time for movement no matter how many dimensions of space you occupy. Therefore, time does not require 3 spatial dimensions.

I agree. In the 4th dimension, to travel through time, all you have to do is look forward. (according to my thesis)

We have devoted a lot of our philosophical speculations to time, but the secret is that temporality is meaningless in the metaphysical sub structure of our Universe.

My thesis agrees. The experience of time is subjectively moving forward. This is due to our mind and our observation of existence. Objectively, though, time is past present and future. The good thing about 3 dimensional existence is that we have very good interpretations of objective 3 dimensional reality. The good thing about 4 dimensional existence is the same, only that a 4 dimensional existence will have a good interpretation and method of quantifying and observation of objective time as well. In other words, we will become accustom to 4 dimensional mathematics once we have embraced the collective subjective mind.
Time is the first dimension that we know of that has a collective subjective observational reference.

Law of Time
Time is linear, always moving forward in increments of finite and that which occupies Time, must also occupy Space.
So the Law of Time agrees that it exists one dimensionally but it has three elements within that one dimensionality, past, present, and future.
So being one dimensional, it would simultaneously encompass all three directional dimensions of Space and since there are two separate spacial dimensions, it will encompass both simultaneously.
So whatever Time it is here Now, it's that Time throughout the entire Universe and in both spacial dimensions simultaneously.

Then by your theory, there was no Time prior to man's existence!
Fail!

You keep saying that there are 2 spatial dimensions. That is wrong, there are three known spatial dimensions. 1. line 2. area 3. volume
1. length 2. length times width 3. length times width times height
So whatever Time it is here Now, it's that Time throughout the entire Universe and in both spacial dimensions simultaneously.

Exactly.
Whenever you are looking forward across three dimensional space, you will not necessarily be looking at the same forward I am looking, but when you are looking forward through time, you will be looking forward in the same direction the entire universe is looking.
The only reason we don't see time as a spatial dimension is because we are based on individualistic subjectivity rather than collective subjectivity. If we harness our collective mind, we will then see time as a spatial dimension.
