"I think the multidimension theory is asanine"

I'm curious just how much you understand about multidimensional theory. Did you read Seth's post?

It doesn't necessarily mean "parallel universes" or anything like that.

Think of it in terms of a flat sheet of paper. Now fold it in half. In the two-dimensional representation of the paper, nothing has changed. To draw a line from one edge to the other, you still have to go the same distance. In fact, you could fold the paper up like a piece of oragami, and every point in the paper still has the same neighboring points in it's two-dimensional representation.

But consider that same folded paper in 3-dimensions and you have all sorts of points that are now adjacent that were not in a 2-dimensional representation.

As I understand it, when these guys talk about the shape of the universe, they're talking about n-dimensional (where n is greater than 3) representations of the universe that may be applicable only to sub-atomic particles.

Talk about material existence in these extra dimensions is all speculation, and to me, the thought of people living in these dimensions is pure fiction.
