explain why 4d algebra (quanternions) has nothing to do with time

If time was subjective the speed of light would not be constant, it would be different for every observer which it is not.

The speed of light depends on what its travelling through.

Lets stop butchering physics itt.

Unless I am mistaken the 4th dimension that is being referred to is time. For shit to move time has to pass. Example - speed can be represented in meters per second, or distance/time. The distance part is where you move through 3d space (vector). The time part is how fast you are moving over a given distance. If time were truly subjective it would be impossible to get a speeding ticket.

If you're talking about dimensions beyond x,y,z,t then it's non empirical and I'm not going to waste my time with that - I'll leave it for a math/physics major.

As far as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternion is concerned I'm seeing i, j, k - which represent x,y,and z axis. Point out what I'm not reading.

Sorry =( I'm a chem major... physics is a bit of a struggle for me. I was referring to the speed of light in a vacuum.

I've always had an issue with that phrase "speed of light in a vacuum" since there is no such thing as a perfect vacuum.
