"The Embedded Universe"

"The Embedded Universe" is a concept suggesting that our entire universe exists within a larger, perhaps multi-dimensional, framework. It posits that our familiar three-dimensional space, along with time, is embedded within a broader context that might influence or encompass it. Think of it like a 3D object inside a higher-dimensional space. This idea explores how our universe might be part of a bigger structure, which could help explain certain phenomena in physics, such as gravity or the nature of spacetime, by considering that what we observe is just a "slice" of a more complex, embedded reality.
