Thingy said it very very well, okay. Time IS the 4th dimension. you move throught it in EXACTLY the same way you move through the regular 3.

To explain this, try this. Sit in your chair, being very still. you are not moving in the regular 3 dimensions, but you are still moving through time, it may not "look" like the other 3, but it works the same way.

as for time dilation, let me put it this way, time is maleable, just like the other dimensions. if i was to go the speed of light(somehow) the trip would be instant. i would be like-im here at earth, 3,2,1, launch. okay, that was a nice trip, here i am all the way across the galaxy. i would be the same age. but time still passed. it would be 135,000 years later on earth. that is standard physics, it is fact. we are not changing the way we measure time, we are changing the way we MOVE THROUGH it. Time is relative to the perspective of the observer.

as for the black whole thing, the gravity from the black whole changes the way you go through time, it warps time, and makes you accelerate into it, so if you were falling into a black whole, and "survived" long wnough to reach high speeds, you could technically watch the entire infinity of time pass by you, or at least until you were destroyed. that is IF you could stay alive, which is highly suspect.
