I don’t think you are a bad person. Probably just a little overexposure to some Dark Matter.
If you don’t glow in the dark like the rest of us I am sure that is the cause.

Time is a good thing... It keeps everything from happening at once.

The TARDIS missed that dimension searching for Danny.

Time is a bubble in a bubble universe. It is happening instantaneously. It is our weakened perception that makes it seem linear.

It’s simple really. It’s because a body in motion tends to stay in motion until acted upon by an external force.

"Can anyone explain to me how there can be a non-integer number of dimensions?"Google "fractals."
How long, exactly, is a shoreline?

On a physical plane, 4 dimensions are enough (time in particular as the 4th one).

It must have been hard to get from place to place, what with all the jumping you would have had to do.

Twice as long as a byline.
A longshoreman told me it was so.

"..There are 5 dimensions. (I’m serious).." Please defend and explain. Somebody else said 20, which is 4 times as awesome, so you're sorta handicapped right out of the gate.

I appreciate your words. I know I don’t glow in the dark. Maybe I am good person after all. You’ve given me real hope. I’m going to go out and beat an elderly person.

“If the number of dimensions was approximately three, might there have at one time been pi dimensions? “
Look up Peano curves. Then check back in a couple days.

Seriously, dimensions are a property of the mind, a passing illusion experienced by an illusion. There are no 'dimensions' 'out there' because there is no 'out there', nor is there 'in here'. There is no inside, no outside, no distance, no time.
This is using a tape measure to measure itself. It is only 'it is', and even that is a lie.

Odd that a scientific journal would still be stuck in just four dimensions when matrix string theory says there are 11
