Six-dimensional space is any space that has six dimensions, that is, six degrees of freedom, and that needs six pieces of data, or
coordinates, to specify a location in this space.
Applications:
1. String Theory
- In physics string theory is an attempt to describe general relativity and quantum mechanicswith a single mathematical
model. Although it is an attempt to model our universe it takes place in a space with more dimensions than the four
of spacetime that we are familiar with. In particular a number of string theories take place in a ten dimensional space,
adding an extra six dimensions. These extra dimensions are required by the theory, but as they cannot be observed
are thought to be quite different, perhaps compactified to form a six-dimensional space with a particular
geometry too small to be observable.
- Since 1997 another string theory has come to light that works in six dimensions. Little string theories are non-
gravitational string theories in five and six dimensions that arise when considering limits of ten-dimensional string
theory.
5th dimension
- In physics, the fifth dimension is a hypothetical extra dimension beyond the usual three spatial dimensions and
one time dimension of Relativity.
- In popular usage, the "fifth dimension" is often used to refer to unexplored or unknown aspects of the universe, and
not necessarily to the mathematical concept of a 5-dimensional space. For example, the classic television series The
Twilight Zone uses the very term to describe itself in it's memorable first season opening sequence.
- In Hindu philosophy, the fifth dimension of love of the Divine is termed by the Gaudiya Vaisnavas as turyatita, the
dimension of the soul's Soul.
Step 1 - Zeroth Dimension. Imagine a point in space. It is a 0-hypercube. A point is zero dimensional because it has no width,
length, or height, and is infinitely small. Every point is exactly the same and has the same measurements, because it has no
dimension. Below is a picture of a point, representing the zeroth dimension.
Step 2 - First Dimension. Take the zero-dimensional point and extrude it in any direction, creating a line segment, which is a 1-
hypercube. All line segments are one-dimensional because they differ in size by only one measurement, length. They all have the
same width and height, which is infinitely small. If you expanded the line infinitely, it would cover one-dimensional space.
Step 3 - Second Dimension. Now take the line segment and extrude it in any direction that is perpendicular to the first direction,
creating a square, which is a 2-hypercube. All squares are two dimensional because they differ with each other in size by two
measurements, width and length. They all have the same height, which is infinitely small. All of the edges are the same length, and
all of the angles are right angles. If you expanded the square infinitely, it would cover two-dimensional space.
Step 4 - Third Dimension. Take the non-infinite square and extrude it in a third direction, perpendicular to both of the first two
directions, creating a cube, which is a 3-hypercube. All cubes are three dimensional because they differ with each other in size by
all of the three measurements that we know of - width, length, and height. Just like the square, all of the edges within a single
cube are the same length, and all of the angles are right angles. If you expanded the cube infinitely in all directions, it would cover
three-dimensional space.
Step 5 - Fourth Dimension. Now, the final step. Take the non-infinite cube and extrude it in yet another direction perpendicular to
the first three. But how can we do this? It is impossible to do within the restrictions of the third dimension (which will I refer to
as realmspace in this webpage). However, within the fourth dimension (which I call tetraspace), it is possible. The shape that
results from this extrusion of a cube into tetraspace is called a tesseract, which is a 4-hypercube. All tesseracts differ from other
tesseracts in size by four measurements (equal to each other within a single tesseract) - width, length, height, and a fourth
measurement, which I call trength. Looking back to the previous n-dimensional cubes, they all have the same trength, which is
infinitely small. Just like the cube and square, all of the edges within a single tesseract are the same length, and all of the angles
are right angles. If you expanded the tesseract infinitely, it would cover four-dimensional space.

3rd Dimension
- Three-dimensional space is a geometric 3-parameters model of the physical universe (without considering time) in
which we live. These three dimensions are commonly called length, width, and depth (or height).
- In physics, our three-dimensional space is viewed as embedded in 4-dimensional space-time, called Minkowski space.
- In mathematics, analytic geometry (also called Cartesian geometry) describes every point in three-dimensional space
by means of three coordinates.
- In computers, 3-D (three dimensions or three-dimensional) describes an image that provides the perception of depth.
When 3-D images are made interactive so that users feel involved with the scene, the experience is called virtual
reality .

2nd Dimension
- The two dimensions are commonly called length and width .Both directions lies in the same plane.
1st Dimension
- A single dot.
