Time is orthagonal. With our intrinsic structure, our observation of time as an " absolute " dimension aids in describing behavour in an independent coordinate system. This corresponds with the idea that time travels perpendicular to the inertial frame, at least our perception of it. If the inertial frame was to move, then our minds would percieve time to be orthagonal to the objects around us. The key is is that our minds analyze phenomena using time as an orthagonal unit of measurement. While percieving time as being absolute is intuitively correct, it is absolutely wrong. This exception was only recently discovered with the michaelson-morley experiment which shows that background lighting hits the earth at c from all sides, regardless of our " absolute " velocity relative to the universe.
