    Isn’t the 4th dimension time so a tesseract should be a 5th dimension object.

      A tesseract is a spatial solid and not a temporal one. We don’t map cubes in a temporal temporal way, and also when abstracting dimensions the spatial is separate from the temporal so assigning time an ordered number is fairly useless. Why we call the fabric “space-time”.
