Dead Dimensions is a term that refers to dimensions of the universe which have collapsed soon during the expansion of the super-heated universe. It was theorized that there were about 25 total dimensions but were ripped away to wither and warp into infinitely-small particles, thus only four remained extant. Only a small number of scientists throughout history made a study which was considered purely academic with little practical application. A small devoted scientific following searched the universe for signs hoping to find evidence about how the universe came to being.
