LessWrong explores the concept of humans as four-dimensional beings

The author proposes that humans are four-dimensional beings, with time being the fourth dimension akin to spatial dimensions.

The post illustrates this concept by depicting a human body not as a static 3D form, but as a continuous chain of 3D instances across time, emphasizing our existence across past, present, and future.
