There are theories of a fourth spatial dimension.

That doesn't mean we'd be able to shapeshift into it, now, does it?

I suppose, and then I could program forever and never as I would have all the time and none of it.

What if he converted the excess mass into excess time, giving him more time to browse excellent forums such as this here one?

That would do the trick, but converting mass directly to energy produces massive amounts of energy per atom. Would it be safe to convert atoms to time then? It might be dangerous.

Shut up Zoidberg, you're obstructing innovation.

But is time energy? What is time even?

Well, by moving fast enough, you are able to warp your location in the fourth dimension. Movement is a direct result of applying energy, so the energy has to go somewhere right? Time = energy? Chrono Energy? Are we doing anything mildly revolutionary here? I want a Nobel, David damn it!

I know. We should show this to someone important. "Chrono-energy" I like it. Could you go the other way though? If energy can be converted to time and vice versa, and matter can be converted to energy and vice versa, does that mean we could see physical manifestations of time?

Woah.

Good point.
I hadn't considered the possibility of shape-shifting into other superpowered beings.
How interesting.

Gosh Glabbit! Give credit where credit is due!

With powerful enough telekinesis you could do almost any super power, invisibility by wrapping the photons around you, super strength, etc. possibly even time travel depending on what methods there actually are to do so.

I hadn't read that.
Being absent-minded doesn't make me an asshole, Jack. If anything, you feeling affronted about the fact that I didn't praise your post makes you Jackthearrogant.

Furthermore, no credit was given. I was merely stating the fact that I point the point that was made an interesting one.
Since you had obviously thought of this point yourself quite a bit earlier, you could easily take this as a compliment.
...Well okay, maybe not easily. But you still could.
So, Jacktheantagonist, have I clarified enough for you to be Jacktheappeased, or do you remain Jacktheapoplectic?
