The Dimensional Theory

I, as of late, have had far too much time on my hands. I thought up a way to explain the confusing mess of conflicting theories of how dimensions work, do they exist, and all that.

The Zenith Dimension: (q) A single point in space, of which nothing can escape.

The First Dimension: (x) A single, infinite, line in space, of which nothing can escape.

The Second Dimension: (y) A 2D plane, infinite, of which nothing can escape.

The Third Dimension: (z) A 3D space, our universe, infinite, of which nothing can escape.

Now we get into some of the stranger ideas.

The Fourth Dimension: (a) Time. Time is a ray, emanating from the origin (point 0,0), and continuing on forever. Everything and everyone in our point on the "e" axis (explained shortly) is at the exact same place in Time. Everything in our point on the "e" axis moves at exactly the same rate in time.

The Fifth Dimension: (h) Spacetime. This is where space and time react together, creating all of the weird effects such as the speed of light and its effects on aging, and so on. This controls the "q," "x," "y," "z," and "a" axes.

The Sixth Dimension: (e) Existence. This is my personal favorite and the strangest dimension. It is a 3D space with infinite points. At each point is a different version of our Universe and a different point in Time. For everything that happens, or every choice that is made, a new point is created to represent what might have happened. This means that there are infinite new points being created every millisecond.

For the record, yes, I am aware that there will be many dissidents out there that won't hesitate to call me a complete idiot. I, personally, think this is a good idea and want to put this out there so other people can see it and (hopefully) render useful comments and questions. I chose the Escapist for this because it seems to be one of the most mature and rational forums out there on the Internet.

Well, have at it.

EDIT 1:
Gravity is a phenomenon within the First, Second, and Third Dimensions. At least, I think so. What's the "fan-time" dimension theory? Right now I'm busy watching the video recommended by the second poster.

Wow. you should write a sci-fi book or something. I'd probably read it.
The words positively flowed for me. Well, I like a good read.
But I'm not too learned on this particular subject, so I can't really make a valid comment, but, it certainly is interesting.

Hm...? Your fifth and sixth dimensions are strange. Well, here is a good explanations of dimensions:

Well thought out, I take it you don't agree with the fan-time universe theory?

Also, out of interest, do you regard gravity as a dimension?

Well thought out. My opinions of it:

Time is defined as a function of light speed. Everything happens at the same rate in time, we just don't observe them at the same rate due to the limitations of information transfer. So I'm not sure how your theory would work. In effect your 4th dimension is simply a measure of relative speed. If that is the case, then we (the observers) would be at point 0, and the axis would stretch to light speed, not to infinity.

Space-Time to me is more of a combination of dimensions rather than a dimension in itself. Kind of how how a cube is composed of 3 dimensions, but a cube is not actually a dimension.

I don't think that existence qualifies as a dimension. Though it's nice to see someone going with the Many Worlds theory.

Greyfox105: Thanks!
Summerstorm: I am watching the video right now. Very interesting.
Cargando: See the first post, and thanks.
Pingieking: Thanks. Where did you get the definition of time? I haven't seen it before. My theory is similar to yours in that everything happens concurrently but we see it as somewhat slower due to the limits of info. transfer. The "a" axis is not a measure of speed, rather a measure of, well, time. Each point on the "a" axis represents a specific point in time and everything in all points on the "e" axis that are at that exact point in time. We are at whatever point that our year, day, second, etc. is and we can neither see into the past or the future. Thanks for the contributions.
