I’m was not sure where this topic should be placed but it seemed that General Physics might be the best place. I apologize if I have guessed wrongly.
In a discussion elsewhere on the subject of the world as we experience it through our senses, the point was made that we only receive information in two dimensional form and that there is no direct perception of a third dimension.
The information received by the senses is converted by the brain into a three dimensional image. This is thus an internal process, which has no direct connection to an external reality.
The question then arises as to whether or not there is an absolute scientific proof independent of the observer that this external reality indeed consists of (at least) three dimensions?
If not then the theory of such a space is merely a philosophical one, as are all other theories based upon it and thus may not apply everywhere in the universe.
Best Regards,
Dave
