In science we attempt to classify everything. And everything seems to be a subset of something else. Planet is a part of a solar system, solar system is a part of a galaxy, galaxy is part of the universe, universe is a part of our dimension, etc.

Obviously there are exceptions to this, rogue planets, but we still consider them contained.

I understand the idea of multidimensions is theoretical, but if they exist, do we have a name or even a theory what might contain them?

    They are using the scifi-concept of dimension which has nothing to do with the mathematical or physical concept of dimension.

      @PinkOwls
      I thought “dimension” in scifi was meant as “universe”, like a parallel dimension is a parallel universe. What is the difference between the two?
