| A '''dimension''' was a property of space, extending in a given direction, which, when combined with other dimensions of width and height and time, made up the [[Universe]].

| | |
| == Terminology ==
| |
| "Dimension" was sometimes used interchangeably with "[[parallel universe]]" or "[[alternate timeline]]", but these were different variations of realities.
| |
| | |
| == Dimensions within the universe ==
| |
| [[N-Space]] had eleven dimensions. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Parasite (novel)|Parasite]]'') [[Space]] and [[time]] were two of these. They combined into "spacetime."
| |
| | |
| The [[First Doctor]] stated that the "fourth dimension" (as [[human]]s understood it) was time. ([[TV]]: ''[[An Unearthly Child]]'') [[Vicki Pallister]] later elaborated that time, even though a dimension in itself, had dimensions of its own. The Doctor even stated, in their adventure at the time, that he did not understand ''"this"'' fourth dimension. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Space Museum]]'')
| |
| | |
| [[Hyperspace]] was another dimension. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Stones of Blood]]'') It could be reached using a [[black hole]], which essentially collapsed dimensions into a [[singularity]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Horns of Nimon]]'')
| |
| | |
| A [[TARDIS]]' interior existed as a separate dimension from the rest of the universe. This meant the interior didn't exist, creating [[temporal grace]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Hand of Fear]]'') This may also explain why travel in a TARDIS took "no time at all," as the [[Third Doctor]] described. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time Monster]]'')
| |
| | |
| A location of space called the [[Arc of Infinity]] was known as an ancient curve between dimensions. ([[TV]]: ''[[Arc of Infinity (TV story)|Arc of Infinity]]'')
| |
| | |
| [[N-Form (Damaged Goods)|N-Forms]] were constructs created by the [[Patrexes]] that were able to cross dimensions and exist in pocket dimensions of their own. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Damaged Goods]]'')
| |
| | |
| The [[Mavora]] existed in only the first two dimensions, and thus they were a completely flat shape and could slide between the atoms of the universe. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Broken Man (comic story)|The Broken Man]]'')
| |
| | |
| == Other dimensions ==
| |
| | |
| There were countless billions of dimensions, some of them incomprehensibly different to N-Space. Beings from these distant dimensions obeyed very different laws of physics and were (presumably) forbidden to cross into other dimensions. [[Nobody No-One]] came from a reality 45 billion dimensions away from N-Space and was composed of language and communication instead of [[matter]] and [[energy]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Forty-Five]]'')
| |
| | |
| [[E-Space]] was a small dimension connected to [[N-Space]] by the [[Logopolitan]]s in an effort to delay the death of the universe from [[entropy]]. Access was through a [[Charged Vacuum Emboitment]]. The [[Fourth Doctor]] and [[Romana II|Romana]] stumbled through one such CVE. ([[TV]]: ''[[Full Circle]]'') They found the [[Great Vampire]] hiding there. ([[TV]]: ''[[State of Decay]]'')
| |
| | |
| According to [[Fenric]], the Doctor trapped him in the [[Shadow Dimensions]] for seventeen centuries ([[TV]]: ''[[The Curse of Fenric]]'') which were remnants of the [[Pre-Universe]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Curse of Fenric (novelisation)|The Curse of Fenric]]'') The parallel dimension that the [[Great Old One]]s shunted themselves into, which collapsed seconds later into the current universe, may have been one of the Shadow Dimensions. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Millennial Rites]]'')
| |
| | |
| The [[Seventh Doctor]] claimed [[King Arthur]]'s craft found in [[Lake Vortigern]] was from another dimension or [[Arthur's World|parallel universe]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Battlefield]]'')
| |
| | |
| The [[Antiverse]] was a universe comprised of [[Anti-Time]]. Use of the [[Oubliette of Eternity]] would send people to this universe, turning them into [[Neverperson|Neverpeople]]. The [[Eighth Doctor]] and [[Romana II|Romana]] went there looking for the remains of [[Rassilon]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Neverland]]'')
| |
| | |
| The [[Divergent Universe]] was a universe created by Rassilon to contain the [[Divergence]] -- a race that would theoretically replace the [[Time Lords]]. The [[Eighth Doctor]] went there on a self-imposed exile. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Zagreus (audio story)|Zagreus]]'')
| |
| | |
| [[Jason Kane]] spent several years in a [[hell]] dimension. It was predominately rock. Tunnelling craft tunnelled their way between habitable areas. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Infernal Nexus (novel)|The Infernal Nexus]]'')
| |
| | |
| According to the [[Tenth Doctor]], [[the Morass]] was a dimension where time and space had been torn apart. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Crimson Hand (comic story)|The Crimson Hand]]'')
| |
| | |
| The [[bubble universe]] was a [[universe]] outside of N-Space which could be accessed from N-Space via a [[Bubble universe rift|space-time rift]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor's Wife]]'')
