4th dimension is no different than the first 3. it's only the human experience that makes us experience it as different.

No evidence to support it, in our minds we can express things without words, we do not have a way to express something in our language. It is not so much language affects how we thing about things, language affects communication, thus we can only provide misinformation to others. In fact, in our heads we do not really take in sentences, if I ask you to repeat what I just said to you, you can only repeat the content. That is why so many linguists today are so against Sapir-Whorf hypothesis.
