gollark: Ugh, go project yourself onto arbitrary hyperplanes, pyrobot.
gollark: I think you're confusing a bunch of things right now. Or possibly just two things, many worlds and extra spatial dimensions.
gollark: "We"?
gollark: ???
gollark: Things which extend into those instead of just having a constant fixed position in said new spatial dimension are also not going to somehow stop being subject to time, unless the laws of physics privilege it somehow, which would be really weird.
