Neil deGrasse Tyson:
In a four dimensional civilization(assuming the fourth dimension is time) would it be possible for lower class citizens to all share the same house at different times? in other words people would not rent their own apartments, they would rent a time slot at a communal apartment and simply commute back or forward to that time slot. Additionally could this concept also be the case for offices?

Fascinating concept. By lower class, I presume you mean poor people? In the UK, of course, it can also mean non-aristocrats.
If you have access to the time dimension, then by returning to the same time slot you are simply re-living that time interval exactly as you did before. You will not be accruing sleep or productivity or anything. To do that you need a. freshly lived time-slot.

I read two of your books COSMIC QUERIES and STARRY MESSENGER. Both are very thought provoking. Despite the amazing progress made in the field of science and technology a vast majority of the population especially in developing countries are still immersed in superstitious beliefs. Scientific knowledge and scientific thinking do not come down to common man. what could be a solution to this?
