A higher dimension is exactly what it sounds like: a dimension that is different (higher) from length, width, and depth. Our world is in three dimensions, and a higher dimensional universe would have four or mroe dimensions.

What are other dimentions like?

It's an interesting puzzle; the math of the universe seems to work better if there are 12 dimensions. We do not know - perhaps we CANNOT know - what those other dimensions are, or what they are like.We don't even know if they are "real" in any sense of the word, or as "imaginary" as imaginary numbers. Perhaps someday we will learn how to detect, and perhaps even travel to, those other dimensions. But for now, they are just an idea.


How many dimensions do you see in when you look with one eye?

When you look through one eye or both eyes, it doesn't matter because the world that we know always has three dimensions; length, width, and height.The difference is that when you look through one eye your brain doesn't get as much information to be able to determine width or depth, which is considered the third dimension. It only gets information to see length and height. And, to see the fourth dimension, time, all you have to do is look at something with three dimensions ans wait for it to move. Movement involves time, so if you close one eye and look at things moving, you are actually seeing infour dimensions with only one eye!


Have scientists adopted names for the additional dimensions beyond the widely-accepted four dimensions?

Only mathematical ones. Time is 't', the usual spatial dimensions are x1, x2, and x3. When doing the math using spatial dimensions beyond those three -- like in string theory -- scientists refer to them as x4, x5, x6, etc.


Can only be measured in three dimensions?

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.

Do higher dimensions exist in the universe?

The existence of higher dimensions in the universe is a topic of debate among scientists. Some theories, such as string theory, suggest the possibility of extra dimensions beyond the three spatial dimensions we experience. However, these higher dimensions have not been directly observed or proven, so their existence remains speculative.
