If you, the person, have a seizure, your brain will play a trick on you. In which, the brain is turned into over-drive, causing you to super sharpen your perception of time with a consequence of damage.
Now, I'm not will to do that, I leave that to my fate, and nothing more.

So the only thing that I can say about 4th dimension is that it's an idea. Emphasis on idea, since this Carl Sagan guy that was mention said "imagine that there is a 4th physical dimension."
Here's a bummer of an idea for you.
We only see in 2 dimensions.
It's a flat image that we see.
It looks '3 dimensional' because when we focus on something, everything else goes out of focus.
Look at your hand and try it out. Now look at the wall and hold up your hand. Look at the wall still.
Out of focus.

Question: the examples of 3 dimensions are set to one or an objects point in space be it you or the planet. It is the X,Y,Z axis yes? What then is the observer of the point/person/object? yes they sit on their own X,Y,Z axis but it is in the observation that is my quarry.

That depends on where you are. Time is merely an idea. When your on planet A you measure the time on Planet A. When you move to Planet B you are in sync with Planet A's time.
Gravitational time dilation is the effect of time passing at different rates in regions of different gravitational potential; the lower the gravitational potential (the closer the clock is to the source of gravitation), the more slowly time passes. Albert Einstein originally predicted this effect in his theory of relativity and it has since been confirmed by tests of general relativity.
This has been demonstrated by noting that atomic clocks at differing altitudes (and thus different gravitational potential) will eventually show different times. The effects detected in such experiments are extremely small, with differences being measured in nanoseconds.
Gravitational time dilation was first described by Albert Einstein in 1907[1] as a consequence of special relativity in accelerated frames of reference. In general relativity, it is considered to be a difference in the passage of proper time at different positions as described by a metric tensor of spacetime. The existence of gravitational time dilation was first confirmed directly by the Pound–Rebka experiment.
