: Your quote is misleadingly incomplete, and Maxwell's equations do not describe an additional dimension.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 11:24, 15 October 2009 (EDT)

:: Sorry if my abbreviated quotation was misleading. I wrote it that way because I perceived that this article was intending to state that the theories of relativity are more complex than other physical theories. Perhaps I misunderstood the intent. In either case, I agree that the relativity equations are complex, but other physical theories are just as complex.
::Maxwell's equations desribe electric and magnetic fields as a function of three spatial dimensions and time. Although descriptions of relativity may refer to time as the fourth dimension, the equations of relativity use only three spatial dimensions and incorporate time as a fourth MATHEMATICAL dimension (which does not mean that it is another spatial dimension).--[[User:RustyR|RustyR]] 13:06, 15 October 2009 (EDT)
