Yes, according to current scientific theories, there are more than 3 dimensions in the universe. Some theories suggest there may be up to 11 dimensions, with the extra dimensions beyond the familiar three spatial dimensions and one time dimension being compactified or hidden from our everyday perception.

What are the four dimensions of Space-Time?

Einstein formulated the spacetime that is the four dimensions of space namely: length, breadth, thickness and a fourth dimension: time are interwoven. apart from euclid's geometry where time is said to move at a constant rate and is unchangable, this theory says that time also can be bent, slowed down or even speeded up just like the other dimensions like length.


The 3 first dimesons are space The fourth is time. So what does the last 7 contain?

The additional 7 (or possibly 8) dimensions, if indeed they exist, would also be dimensions of space and time, but they would be more curved than the more familiar 4 dimensions of space and time that we know and love.


What are the average dimensions of a mousetrap?

The average dimensions of a mousetrap are typically around 3-6 inches in length, 2-3 inches in width, and 1-2 inches in height. These dimensions can vary slightly depending on the specific design and brand of mousetrap.


Why 4th dimension doesnt exist in real world?

This is an area of active research. In other words, it isn't really known. One hypothesis is that within a larger "something", different universes have formed, with different physical laws and even different numbers of "active" dimensions (see below). In this case, we simply happen to live in one that has three dimensions. Active dimensions: There is some evidence that our Universe actually has 10 or 11 dimensions, but that only 4 of these (1 time dimension, 3 space dimensions) manifest themselves on larger scales. The other 6 or 7 spacial dimensions are believed to exist only at extremely small scales - much smaller than can be directly observed.


How do physicists define space?

Space is the infinite or gigantic volume containing all the matter and radiation in the universe. Generally, two marbles cannot occupy the same position on a Chinese Checker game. The position defines a space. Each marble occupies a space. Things get more complicated when considering the dimensions of space (1, 2, 3, 4).

Plane shapes are geometric shapes in 2 dimensions, but geometric shapes can also be in 1 dimension or 3 dimensions, or, for mathematicians, in more than 3 dimensions.Plane shapes are geometric shapes in 2 dimensions, but geometric shapes can also be in 1 dimension or 3 dimensions, or, for mathematicians, in more than 3 dimensions.Plane shapes are geometric shapes in 2 dimensions, but geometric shapes can also be in 1 dimension or 3 dimensions, or, for mathematicians, in more than 3 dimensions.Plane shapes are geometric shapes in 2 dimensions, but geometric shapes can also be in 1 dimension or 3 dimensions, or, for mathematicians, in more than 3 dimensions.


Does 4D exist OR is 3D the limit of Dimensions?

Mathematically, you can have as many dimensions as you want. Our "real world" seems to have only 3 dimensions. While there are speculations that other universes - or parts of our Universe - may have more or less dimensions, for now, these are just speculations. According to string theory, our Universe actually has 10 or 11 dimensions, but only 3 of those appear on a large scale - the others will only have an effect on very, very tiny scales.

Are there other dimensions in the universe?

There are at least 4 dimensions in the universe - 3 space dimensions (length, breadth, depth), and one time dimension.Beyond this, no one is really sure.Some current theoretical physics models contain higher dimensions than this. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_theoryThere are many different versions of String theory, however - some with more dimensions. One type known as M-theory ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-theory ) has eleven space dimensions and one time, for a total of 12.However, the universe is thought to be so narrow across these extra dimensions that for all practical purposes there are really only 4 we have to consider.


The expanding universe has been described as a balloon that is stretching outward. If that is so is the inside of the universe a hollow filled with invisible energy?

The "balloon" is just a rough analogy; the balloon surface is 2-dimensional, our Universe has 3 dimensions (3 spacial dimensions). In the balloon, there is a curvature towards a third dimension. It is not clear whether such additional dimensions (beyond the third dimension) make any physical sense in our Universe.


What are extra dimensional beings?

They are living "things" from a space of more dimensions than the 3 dimensions of space and 1 of time that we live in and are aware of.


What are the 3 stuff in the universe?

There are more than 3 kinds of stuff in the universe. Even the simplest description of the universe requires 4 kinds of stuff, which are matter, energy, space, and time.


Are there any 2 dimensional universe?

There has been some speculation about alternate universes, perhaps some of them with more or less than 3 space dimensions, and even with more than one time dimension, whatever that means. There is no evidence either for or against such universes; it is simply unknown whether there are any such universes.


Are there any more dimensions than just 2d and 3d?

Theoretically there are many more. We can visualise 2 and 3 dimensions quite easily. One dimension is simply point. Higher dimensions can be described mathematically but are difficult if not impossible to visualise.


How many dimensions do we live in?

It seems that our Universe has 10 or 11 dimensions. But only 4 of those dimensions (1 time dimension, 3 space dimensions) are large enough to be noticed.


What has existed for at least 3 million years?

The universe has existed for more than 14 billion years, the sun for more than 4 billion years - both well over 3 million years.


How many lines of symetry does a trangle have?

It depends on the dimensions of the triangle, some have 0, but no triangle will ever have more than 3 lines of symmetry.
