With the current amount of dimensions
in space we have one pointing up (↑),
one pointing sideways (←),
and one pointing forward ( ∕),
this can also be called, x,y,z dimensions. There is actually also
another dimension called time, which makes the 4 dimension, which
goes through and around matter and controls the flow of time(Arrow of
time). Some could ask, is there another/more dimensions in existence?
and some would say it is crazy, since the previous dimensions have
occupied all the space available. Mathematics can allow for an
infinite amount of dimensions. Literally have as many as you want and
with that mathematicians and scientists would conjure these ideas
that these dimensions would be completely different to the dimensions
that we are aware of, such as monsters travelling through different
dimensions and different worlds. Now that all seems interesting and
exciting, but the likely hood of that happening outside of Hollywood
is slim at best. But when we look at extra dimensions in a realistic
term it is more of a mathematical term, and a text book example of
the use of extra dimensions would be String Theory. As I have
mentioned before, String Theory uses extra dimensions on top of the 3
dimensions that we can view, plus time (Being the 4th). To
look at this in a non head achingly way would be to just view these
extra dimensions as just extra directions. That being said, it would
actually be impossible to point in this direction or even see it. But
to assume it is there for the sake of mathematics and sanity.

This is very interesting information! Will be following this blog.
