@ozoned I see, but if you call a “reality” a dimension, what is it that you call a universe?

@PinkOwls
The math/physical concept of dimension does sometimes appear in scifi though, think about hyperspace.

The scifi “dimension” is as meaningless as “plane of existence”

Does not sound too meaningless to me, but I’m used to calling that a universe 😁

think about the sentence “the universe is a part of our dimension”

I’m trying ahah. But if you call the universe a dimension, which subpart of it do you call a universe? The observable universe maybe? I mean it makes sense to say that the observable universe is part of our universe. Still sounds strange the way it is presented by OP.

@PinkOwls
I thought “dimension” in scifi was meant as “universe”, like a parallel dimension is a parallel universe. What is the difference between the two?

@ozoned

universe is a part of our dimension

Not familiar with this concept of dimension tbh. I think that when one talks about something bigger than the Universe, they have a specific theory in mind, with its specific definition of what the universe is. Which theory do you take this notion of dimension from?
