I'm not convinced that the supposition of extraphysical dimensions in nature (the phrase itself is a contradiction as there is no nature (physical) outside of nature, but I know what you mean) doesn't break from reality.

Tut, tut. I didn't say "extraphysical dimensions", but "extra physical dimensions", meaning physical (real) dimensions that are additional to the ones that we are at liberty to move about in. That's pure conjecture--no evidence whatsoever--but if they do exist, there may be experimentally testable consequences, and that is what makes it science.

When I was about 12-13, I went into a dressing room to try on some jeans, there were 3 mirrors, at 90 degree angles to each other, 3 walls, the 2 outside mirrors were on hinges that brought them together, making a triangle of mirrors with me standing in the middle.

I was wondering to myself if all of these other me's had other lives in other universes, and the mirrors were really just a window into those other universes.

It was a mind expanding experience for me, kind of like the idea of infinity when I finally grasped it, kinda leaves you breathless with the implications.

You are right. My mistake. There is no inherent contradiction.

However, I am not convinced that such speculation can be arrived at without a contradiction of observed reality. However, sir, I will certainly consider it further.

It's humbling that the difference between being right and being wrong can be a mere--space.
