The Ever Changing 4th Dimension

By 4th dimension I mean 'time'. The 'ever changing' implies that it never stays still, it's changing, updating, moving, evolving. At least compared to the other 3 dimensions

Of course, one can argue that all matter is not standing still either, the atoms are moving, electrons are spinning, so the solid matter is ever changing also. Yet, this argument is difficult to see with your own eyes, unless you have a powerful instrument, of course.

The time, though, is easy to see, and how it changes. Yet: how does it 'change'? It seems that the 3 dimensions are directly related to the 4th and one cannot be expressed without the other. The solids cannot exist without movement of the atoms, movement needs to be expressed with time, and time needs the solids to be viewed. You need all 4 dimensions or nothing exists at all.
