Can you explain to me how time is regarded as the 4th dimension? Does it mean that if we assume time as a dimension then an object traveling to different time period is possible?

It’t not *the* 4th dimension. The average human can grasp three space dimensions, and time. Calling the time dimension ”the fourth dimension“ is just an unfortunate naming convention in pop science. Better think of them as, e. g., S1-3 (space) and T. Or call them Jim, Tim, Fin and Deidre.
