I guess on a similar note, my own wacky theory is that our dimension can be affected at any given time by up to 13 other dimensions, but which 13 can change amongst a potentially infinite number. I imagine certain dimensions would more likely be co-terminus (I term I believe I'm borrowing from a Dungeons and Dragons type source) with ours than others but who knows.

    One of the biggest harms sci fi and fantays did to public scientific literacy is the abuse of the word "dimension"

    D&D's astral and ethereral planes are not seperate dimenions so much as they are four-dimensional planes seperated from the really mortals live along a axis of reality.

    The "11 dimensional reality" idea is an attempt to explain the asymmetry of the four fundamental forces by postulating that there are additional axis straught line axis that those forces propagate through.
