It's easier to envision it in 5d than to contort it into a 4d space.
Physics (the universe) usually does things the "easy" way.
You can use ugly tensors to describe the universe, or you can use elegant and easy 5-space.
You apparently know little or nothing about physics.
I seriously doubt that you even know what a tensor is.

I know more about the theory than practical/mathematical side, true.
I have studied tensors, matrices and vectors, and it's the one part of mathematics I have had vast difficulties with, but I do have a basic understanding of them.
I think it has a lot to do with why I never went further into statistics than a BA, actually. I never liked the way it "abbreviated" the full context of what you were calculating... I know it's just a representation or transformation of a set of equations, but... my mind handles the set of equations a lot easier.
However I will say an amplitude is every bit as much a "dimension" as one of the co-ordinates. It is just a "forced-coordinate" so to speak.
