Cause that’s the way God designed it.

Interesting theory. Could it be because the Heavenly Father wanted it that way?

So we’d have more cubic footage.

Are they certain it’s only 3-dimensional?

It actually is. We only perceive three of them.

Because space is made of Up, Down, and Sideways.

Are the liberals trying to blame us for the lack of extra dimensions?
“Universe limited to 3 dimensions—women and minorities hit hardest by shortage.”

Because they made all those stupid glasses with a red lens and a blue lens.

One more dimension and we’d have to have another eye.....like my cousin Sam.

Some things look really good in 3D.

And where would we be without ice cubes???

Four dimensions, actually, including time.

In any case, we are completely unable to perceive other dimensions, even if they did exist. With everything in the physical world describable in terms of the x, y, and z axes and time, what possible use is there for another dimension?

I once lived in a two-dimensional universe. It got kind of boring. All the women were built like Calista Flockhart.

"when the number of spatial dimensions was approximately three"

Can anyone explain to me how there can be a non-integer number of dimensions?

If the number of dimensions was approximately three, might there have at one time been pi dimensions?

You don’t perceive time? you are in another universe! ;-)

I was going to say time, but time and gravity are so intimately intertwined that it’s not really a single dimension.

I once heard Heaven is actually a different dimension.
