Again, more stuff beyond me.

However, try thinking about this senior Dustbin. There's not only 4 dimensions.

There's roughly 11 or 12.

As I recall there are technically like over a hundred dimensions, but the basic ones like time, heat, and space are all you really need to know for most science courses.

I'm on my phone so I'm gonna tldr most of this, but basically time is the fourth dimension but it's not spacial, like the three dimensions were used to.You wouldn't graph it spacially.

And yes, 0, 1, and 2 dimensional objects exist, just not in a conventionally meaningful way. I can post more later.

Also, string theory is dumb.

Point particles of Quantum field theory and curvature singularities(should they actually exist) are 0-dimensional. Cosmic strings(the topological kind) should they exist would be one-dimensional.

So on.
