higher dimensions
Past length, width, depth
Higher dimensions are spatial or mathematical dimensions beyond the three we perceive directly—length, width, and depth.
In physics, theories like string theory propose additional spatial dimensions, while spacetime treats time as a fourth dimension.
In mathematics, dimensions extend infinitely: a point in ten-dimensional space has ten coordinates.
Figuratively, higher dimensions suggest levels of reality or understanding beyond ordinary perception: The mystic claimed access to higher dimensions of consciousness.
