A Network.
Start with a point, we have number 0.
A point to a line, number 1.
A line to a plane, like a sheet of paper, number 2.
A plane to a box, number 3.
*To build a simpler view, hierarchy of steps are broke down as they are above, and are only expressed to better explain higher dimensioning in a more universal representation.
Explained:
Number 4. Imagine our box as a wire frame. If you can imagine circles around our lines of axis, you have just imagined space.
Number 5. Now imagine those circles with arrows, all pointing in the same direction, because TIME moves forward.
Number 6. Now our time-based box is living in space, but it has no way of retaining its energy. This requires fabric of space, something for energies to move within, in other words a space medium.
*With the next set of three, space fabric becomes the starting point, and a new fabric is built. (Example: Compare particle physics with physics in space)
Number 7. This is where we begin to build light, or information in 6 dimensions, because light exists in the space between space, this phenomenon is perceived as a simultaneous event.
Number 8. Dimension time to run against itself. This amazingly enough, gives light the dimension it needs to travel. Draw arrows pointing the opposite direction on our circles so that we have arrows pointing in both directions, or imagine a torus. Particles of future events can be changed by altering their HISTORY, because time still exists as solid matter. (Check out the "Time Machine" on You Tube)
Number 9. On this plane of dimension, light is already running time against itself, it just needs to be implicated. In other words, your dreams can become reality. Example: Transcendence, or leaving your body.
*The next set of three involve building laws for curvature of space/time, and dimensioning is multiplied.
Number 10. To arrange all these events, multiple fabrics are set into place, and giving range of POSSIBILITIES regarding creations.
Number 11. As time and space are connected, the gravitational bending of space can bend time, so time happens as an array of possible actions, or big bangs.
12th dimension is where the laws of physics are given a range of possibilities. Only one universe is perceptible by us in existence, but different time can appear simultaneous to someone like you or me if we were time-travelers, thus becoming a smaller framework for a network of realities like an animated sponge. In other words interacting fields.
Overview:
The thing is the scale of reality is endless, and limiting this view to only 12 dimensions might be short sighted, though it seems after you restructure the laws of physics you would have the properties of a new universe. The thing is, light can not be held by these laws, giving way to an ocean of space virtually unknown to us, and is most likely held by laws of an even larger nature. (for example: The laws governing effects of Karma, or Astrology)
This is one of the open questions of modern physics.
There are perceptibly four: three space dimensions and one time dimension.
However, certain physical theories work out best if there are 10 or 11 (which depends on the precise details of the theory in question), which raises the question: why don't we see these other 6 or 7 dimensions?
The best answer to that is that they're "curled up small". The analogy usually used is a tightrope walker: as far as the tightrope walker is concerned, there's only one dimension he can move in: he can go forward, or he can go backward. However, an ant on the tightrope can go forward, or backward, or sideways AROUND the rope because it's large relative to the ant.
The "extra" dimensions are therefore presumed to wrap around on themselves on a very, very small scale, so that we don't even notice them.
Usually three spatial dimensions and one time dimensions are recognized. However, according to String Theory, there is some evidence for a total of 10 or 11 dimensions - one of them time, the others space dimensions. In any case, only 3 space dimensions are visible at the sizes we usually deal with; the others are "compactified" and would only appear on extremely small scales.
A video to visualize these dimensions and their relations is at the link.
Atoms are matter, and so they have at least the 3 dimensions that we are familiar with. At the quantum level, atoms or smaller particles that comprise atoms, may be associated with dimensions that are wrapped too tightly for us to experience. but there are at least the 3 space dimensions for all atoms.
Many universes refer to the existence of multiple separate and distinct cosmic structures that may have different physical laws or properties. Many dimensions, on the other hand, typically refer to additional spatial dimensions beyond the three dimensions of space and one dimension of time that we experience in our everyday lives according to theories like string theory or M-theory.
Physical objects can only be measured in three dimensions: length, width, and height. These dimensions define the size and shape of objects in space. Any additional dimensions would require advanced mathematical concepts like those found in string theory.
Garage dimensions are typically measured by the outside walls, also known as the exterior dimensions. This helps in determining the building's footprint and the space available for parking or storage within the garage.
Some cosmological theories suggest the universe may be either 10 or 11 dimensional.As far as Stephen Hawking goes ... there is no limit to the number of dimensions that can be considered on a theoretical basis, and in fact certain problems in physics are best treated in "Hilbert space", which is an abstract vector space with an infinite number of dimensions. How many dimensions Dr. Hawking uses for any given calculation would therefore depend on exactly what it is that he's calculating.
A geometric solid is defined in 3 dimensions.Theoretical MathematicsIn mathematics, the term "solid" is used to mean "an object that has the same dimensionality as the space under discussion." So it's possible to talk about 7-dimensional solids, which have 7 dimensions, or 23-dimensional solids, which have 23 dimensions. (This is different from the use of time as a "4th dimension".)
Space has 3 million dimensions
There are (so far) three dimensions of space, and one dimension of time.
A plane is a flat surface with only two dimensions. No real planes are found in space, because all matter has 3 dimensions.
Space is the enormous volume in which matter and energy are located and through which motion takes place. Space is observed to have three dimensions, which are length, width, and depth (or height). It is hypothesized that there may be more dimensions than the three that we observe in our daily lives. String theory gives space ten dimensions and M-theory gives it as many as eleven dimensions including that of time.
Just using the word plane suggests that it is in 3-space (assuming you are talking about a real plane, not a complex or otherwise one; and provided you mean how many REAL dimensions does a plane occupy) and so it would occupy 2 dimensions. In general a hyper-plane in n-dimensional space occupies n-1 dimensions.
the plane, or xy plane, has two dimensions space has 3 dimensions
In 2 dimensions, a circle. In 3-dimensions, a sphere.
String Theory (as its predecessors Relativity and Quantum Mechanics) has only one dimension of time. However it has many more dimensions of space than its predecessors (both had 3 dimensions), as the simplest version of String Theory must have 10 dimensions of space, while more complex versions require more (with no defined upper limit known). The big question is "Why can't we detect those additional 7+ dimensions of space that must be present if String Theory is true?".
Time is one dimension, not four. If you combine it with space, you can "visualize" it as four dimensions: three dimensions of space, one of time. Sort of visualize it - we can't really visualize four dimensions.
Spacial dimensions are the dimensions in space such as length,height and depth.
A location in space but no dimensions.
It is a point.
