Time is a dimension in a different sense. When you hear dimension, the typical person associates it with spatial dimension. However, time is a temporal dimension. Think of a cube, it has 3 dimensions, and changing one of those would change its appearance (to that of a cuboid, but forget about that - a cube is already a cuboid anyway). It's similar with time. Imagine the cube is moving along. Now, at any one point in time, it's technically stationary. Change the time, and you change the cube's location. Perhaps it's easier for you to think of it as frames in a movie, or a video game, or any other animation.

I couldn't understand until someone gave me this example - If a train is moving and there is a light in front of it, the light isn't moving faster than the speed of light. Time slows down to allow for it. So that dimension adjusts to the others. Or some such thing.

From what I learned in Chemistry last year, time slows down the faster something goes. If it hits the speed of light (which is impossible unless it is massless), then time stops. Go faster, and time goes backward. The way I see it is similar to how the 3rd dimension would be seen in the 2nd dimension. With only 2 dimensions, you would only see 3D objects in 2D layers, such as if you were to slice something up into very thin layers. Maybe that's like what time is. We only see 1 "layer" of time at any given moment, but it is changeable, just not with any technology we have. Maybe this explains about photons too. In chemistry, we learned that light was made of photons, which have mass, so light has mass. Strangely, light cannot be packaged (We were discussing why you cannot package light such as "Florida sunshine" if light has mass). from my point of view, if time stops at the speed of light, you CAN package light, but it only exists in that moment of time, as time for it has stopped and cannot move forward.
