The first part of a series I am planning to explore (if I manage to overcome my procrastination and try to improve my writing)
I will begin this post to explain the dimensions that we can perceive.

0th Dimension

What is the 0th dimension? We take it as a single point, with no axises, no areas, no lengths, no widths.

In here, we don’t know how ‘big, tall or wide’ these dots are.

1st Dimension

This next dimension has a new feature: it has an axis. The x axis, also known as the length.

Hey look! It is clear to us that Line B is longer than Line A. But we will never know their height in here...

2nd Dimension

The next dimension now also has a new axis: the y axis, known as height. This second dimension is what we write in, it's literally your computer/device screen. A flat surface.

As it turns out, Flat Object B is taller than Flat Object A. But how wide are they?

If you’ve been following through well, you should’ve realised that with each new dimension, a new axis is appearing, a new ‘form of measurement’

3rd Dimension

I’m sure most of you know that we live in the 3rd Dimension (3D). This time, the new axis we have here is the z axis, also known as the width.

This could be the end of all the dimensions that exist, but there are further dimensions that people have tried to comprehend. For now, this is what we can truly see. You can see how tall you are. You can see how long a stick is. You can see how wide that box is. You can see depth, how far something is from you.

More Dimensions?

Are there more dimensions? How will it look like? How will we know? Dimensions seem to follow a pattern.

From 0th to 1st

Let’s go all the way back to the 0th dimension. Now imagine, if there were many dots, all lined up together following the x axis of the 1st dimension.

*Ignore the spacings, they are there to show that a line is made up of an infinite 0th dimensional dots.

**faucetar’s comment made a really good point, these dots are in fact have no unit of measurement, they are just and infinitely small speck on the 0th dimension, but for this example and the following ones, we will be ignoring this fact in order to show the ‘pattern’ behind these dimensions to figure out further dimensions.

They form a line, which is exactly what the 1st dimension is. The line is completely made out of the objects in the previous dimension, but just that they are now following the new axis.

From 1st to 2nd

Now imagine a line from the 1st dimension, all lined up following the y axis of the 2nd dimension.

*The original 1st dimensional line is without any height, meaning it is seemingly impossible to create a 2nd dimensional object WITH height, but for example and explanation purposes we will be skipping this fact. (Unless we agree that 0 times infinity gives us a number >0, we can assume that it will require an infinite number of lines to create a flat square. Whether 0 times infinity gives us a number is already a new Mathematical topic itself.)

If we fit all the lines nicely without any spaces in between, they form a flat object, which is the 2nd dimension.

2nd to 3rd

I hope you know the pattern already. The previous dimension’s shape are all lined up together along an axis, to form the next dimension’s shape.

*Continuing on, the flat square has exactly 0 units of width, so this example is factually wrong.
The many flat squares are placed along, forming a cube, a 3D shape.

The Fourth Dimension

Now, can you imagine the fourth dimension, based on what you know now?

This gif of a tesseract (the name of an fourth dimensional object derived from a cube), may just be what a fourth dimensional object is. (From public domain)

What do you think it looks like? There are many examples on how it may look like, and if you are interested, you can always do a quick search and learn more on these dimensions.

The Lesson?

How we see things can sometimes be like a dimension. While we may only see one part of it, there in fact lies a subtle and complex part, and sometimes all it may take to understand things and others better may just be a slight change of view, a slight change of understanding, a change of acceptance of other people’s thoughts and ideas, and you may just transcend into the next dimension.

Many thanks for reading this article! Please give me any feedback you can, I really want to improve my writing and explanation style. Is it unclear? Was this boring? Please give me any tips to improve, I will try my best!
