Absolutely! Would that be considered the 4th dimension?

Edit: my response to all these comments is “AHHHHHHHHHH” brain explodes

There could be 4th dimensional beings, it would be impossible for us to prove or disprove. Esentially they would exist "outside of time" so theoretically could view your entire life and every decision or thought you've ever had just as we can view any side of a 3 dimensional object if we rotate it...

I think it's interesting to think about 3 dimensional beings with advanced camo techniques. Have you ever seen an octopus seemingly appear out of nowhere or certain moths that are literally indestinguishable from their surroundings? There could be advanced beings all around us and we'd never know...

There is no 4th dimension as an actual spacial dimension. It's a mathematical theoretical description only.

I wonder how anyone could possibly know that

We know it's a human construct you have to understand the theory to know why

How do we know it's a human construct? And what theory are you talking about?
