"Because space consists of 3 dimensions, and time is 1-dimensional, space-time must be a 4-dimensional object. It is believed to be a 'continuum' because, so far as we know, there are no missing points in space or instants in time, and both can be subdivided without any apparent limit in size or duration. So, physicists now routinely consider our world to be embedded in this 4-dimensional Space-Time continuum, and all events, places, moments in history, actions, and so on are described in terms of their location in Space-Time."

ME:
Deja vu-
   It startles me at times.
       Like a mirror, coming before me;
          A conversation
               An interaction
Almost anything-
   Exact in every detail
       As I lived it before. 
          I am mesmerized,
Asking myself-
   How does this happen?

COSMOS:
All is saved in the
    Mirrored Galaxy of Life.
There are four walls in 
   Four-Dimensional Space-Time.
      Like a mirror, they safeguard 
         Your beginning to end
With images from your
     Birth, 
          Childhood, 
              Adulthood 
                  and Death-
Saved from every second
   Of your life in this Universe.
      The mirror of your life,
         Inside the Gallery of Time
            Of the Space-Time Continuum,
Forever and Ever in
    Four-Dimensional Space-Time.

ME:
Where somehow, seconds escape
      As real-time mirrored rays
           To reflect again in my mind?

COSMOS:
Yes.
