The use of the word "dimension" to describe alternate worlds in fiction is something of a misnomer; it would probably be more accurate to describe them as alternate universes. In science and mathematics a dimension is a set of coordinates used to specify a point within it. We observe 4 dimensions: 3 perpendicular dimensions of space and a fourth dimension of time.

Theoretical physics.


Why do scientists think there are other universes?

This is just possibility, considered by some. It may answer the question, why our Universe has specific characteristics, some of which look like it is specifically fine-tuned to permit life: if there are multiple universes, others will have different characteristics, even a different number of dimensions - and out of this multitude of possibilites, a few universes have conditions suitable for life. There is no evidence for other universes, and if they do exist, it is not likely that we can have any contact with them.This is just possibility, considered by some.

What is the difference between many universes and many dimensions?

a) A dimension is a plane of existence or an aspect of a feature i.e. a shape or situation b) A universe is everything that exists, it also includes itself We experience four dimensions (length, width, height and time), but some theories (M-Theory) suggest 11-dimensions. The geometry of our physical universe is three-dimensional. Answer2: a) The geometry of our Universe is four dimensional; one real dimension r=ct and three vector dimensions v= Ix + Jy + Kz. This is called Quaternion Space, the sum of a scalar or real and three vectors. A point in our Quaternion space is p= r+ Ix + Jy + Kz = r + V = [r,V]. Relativity Theory Space-time is x + y + z + ict, this is not a four dimensional space. )b A universe may have many dimensions. Many Universes differ from many dimensions because a Universe is different from a dimension. A dimension is a direction and a universe is not a direction.

What is the farthest universe from earth?

To the best of our knowledge, there is only ONE Universe. There have been hypotheses about multiple universes, but this is not something that has been confirmed.If there are multiple universes, the concept of "distance" between universes may not apply.To the best of our knowledge, there is only ONE Universe.

How many dimensions are there know to man?

Geometrically speaking, man knows of three dimensions; height, width, and depth. As far as dimensions with reference to different universes or plains of existence goes, they only currently exist in theory.

Where do parallel universes reside?

The existence of parallel universes has not been confirmed. If they do exist, they would likely be inaccesible from our Universe. In other words, they would not be in any direction that we can go to. You can think of them as being in other dimensions (i.e., directions other than up/down, east/west, or north/south, or anything in between).
