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?

When you have defined the location of an object. You then need to define the duration that it will be there.

We are meeting on the second floor of the restaraunt located on the corner of main st and 5th Avenue.

We have three axis x=main st, y=5th Ave, z= 2nd floor… but when do we meet?

Edit: it’s also helpful to remember that spacetime is one thing. Two objects can’t occupy the same spacetime… but two objects can occupy the same space… separated by time.
