"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?

Google "fractals."

How long, exactly, is a shoreline?

Look up Peano curves. Then check back in a couple days.
