Extra dimensions of space - the idea that we are immersed in hyperspace - may be key to explaining the fundamental nature of the universe. Relativity introduced time as the fourth dimension, and Einstein’s subsequent work envisioned more dimensions still - but ultimately hit a dead end. Modern research has advanced the subject in ways he couldn’t have imagined. Join leading thinkers on a visual tour through wondrous spatial realms that may lie beyond the ones we experience.
