I’m curious: What’s the speculation about the Fifth Dimension?

Here are the dimensions, as I understand them

1) Width (right to left)
2) Height (top to bottom)
3) Depth (forwards to back)
4) Time (yesterday to tomorrow)

What happens after that?

I’m ignorant. But I have a pet theory: Energy v. Mass, The Big Bang, or “In the Beginning, G-d created”

It's McCoo coo. Other than that, I know nothing.

There's a book titled Flatland about a group of creatures that live in a two-dimentional world that encounters our three dimentional people. The interaction makes it possible to imagine what a fifth dimention might be like, sorta,

Also, look up tesseract. It might help visualizing extra dimensions

I thought they broke up.

The higher physical dimensions are compressed inside the three you can perceive. That’s what they say. Sort of like being behind the mirror in Alice in Wonderland.

Here's what Wikipedia has to say about it:
Five-dimensional space

Umm. Maybe time again, but flowing backward?

We sense three dimensions. We move through a fourth. But various proven phenomena can be explained (so far) through the existence of a fifth dimension.

For example, electrons “move” from one “side” of an atom to another side without passing through the center.

Light moves in a wave, with no three-dimensional construct to explain its constantly shifting direction.

If you fire an electron past a positively charged plate, it doesn’t travel to the left of it, or to the right of it. It travels on both sides of it. Yet there’s still only one electron.

The easiest fifth-dimension construct to witness is gravity. Gravity doesn’t cause objects to travel “out of the way” of the straightest path between two points. Space-time itself is curved, so that if we could “see” the fifth dimension, we would “see” that the curved path an object takes is actually the shortest path. For instance, because the Earth is curved, the shortest distance from Chicago to Europe passes through Iceland, but on a flat map, that seems to be a curved route.
