Minkowski’s Four-Dimensional Space
If in Lorentz's equations we recognize time, more exactly, the durations, as virtualities by ubstituting symbol "t" by imaginary expression :  ct,
with : x1 = x, x2 = y, x3 = z, x4 = ct,
we notice that expression x4 of an imaginary time, satisfies these equations.
Therefore, phenomena's dynamics of the can be followed, partially, by means of four coordinates, three for pace : x, y, z, and one for the time "t".
But then, how this expression of the durations, which escapes to the classic logics (has no correspondence in the reality),
can it enable understanding of the universal dynamics ?
There too, in research of the primordial causes, we feel importance of the time's understanding.
So, Einstein's comments are not sufficient :
" … before advent of the relativity's theory, with regard to the space coordinates, time was playing a rôle, different and more independent. That is for this reason that we have took habit from treating time as an independent continuum. Indeed, according to classical mechanics, time is absolute, i.e. , time is independent of the position of reference's system and of its motion … With relativity's theory, the conception of the four-dimensional world become quite natural, because, according to this theory, the time has lost its independence." (cf. Relativity : The Special and General Theory - Minkowski’s Four-Dimensional Space).
Certainly time can be considered as a continuum but it is a continuum of transcendent order.
We repeat, as durations are not spatial intervals, time can be only of transcendent order.
As for time's dependence, i.e. durations association with reality, that’s expression of implication’s links, transcendent, which enable to creative entity who manages world, from integrating universal dynamics into rigorous chronologies.
Moreover, logics which enable coherence of the concepts, of value's references, ideas, theories, of virtual representations of the reality, …, and which are associated with our abstraction faculties are, too, expressions of transcendent links (it’s an original definition which has never been object of philosophical development).
Observe too that Minkowski's proposition of a four dimensional universe and that spacetime Einstein's concept, are founded on a totally erroneous postulate,
the one of an universe governed by laws the number of which is limited, even governed by an unique law according to principle of logical simplicity.
The universal laws cannot recognize, judge, choose, …, decide, … ; the universal laws are not "operators".
Nevertheless, it's true, the relativity does not concern only the scientists !
