Cosmography and dimensionality have been intertwined since antiquity, but recent discoveries have revealed that time, space, and everything in between may be more similar that we previously thought.

Although we live in three dimensions, there are many other parallel dimensions located orthographically to each other, creating a refracting, ever-complicated picture of reality. Theoretically, a fourth-dimensional creature could view us as easily as we could view two-dimensional ones, such as microbes or bacteria. Similarly, a fifth-dimensional entity would view a fourth-dimensional one in the same way.

The Greek philosopher Anaximander is considered the father of cosmology and was one of the first to meld the ideas of space and time being related to each other. In modern times, Stephen Hawking was a groundbreaking scientist who codified revolutionary ideas in the relationships between gravity, time, and space.

Edward A. Abbot used the concept of dimensionality in his book "Flatland", wherein a humble circle is visited by a sphere who proceeds to introduce him to higher dimensions.
