Higher dimensions
Higher dimensions are theoretical concepts extending beyond the familiar three spatial dimensions (length, width, height). Imagine adding extra directions that are not visible or intuitive—these are higher dimensions. In physics and math, these additional dimensions can help explain complex phenomena, like the behavior of gravity or the nature of the universe. While we experience only three dimensions directly, higher dimensions may be compactified or exist in ways that influence the universe subtly, helping scientists develop unified theories of everything. Think of them as additional directions or degrees of freedom that shape the fabric of reality beyond our everyday perception.
