    I get the latitude, longitude, and they added time. But what was the fourth dimension? Or third rather, because the post assumption is that time was the fourth added.

      Altitude is the third dimension, but I presume you knew that.

      "Geography is three dimensional" doesn't correctly communicate the time dimension.

        Hmm I thought that, but we don't really live in a 3D world (or use the altitude parameter in a very meaningful way in life) so I wondered whether there's something else I was missing.

    Every geography has a timestamp.
