Part 2/11:
The concept of higher dimensions is not a recent invention in the realm of physics. As early as the 16th century, German mathematician Michael Stifel theorized the existence of a fourth dimension beyond the three we are familiar with: width, length, and height. This notion was met with skepticism, as Stifel argued that such a dimension was “against nature.” A century later, British scientist John Wallace echoed similar sentiments, deeming four-dimensional objects as monsters of nature—less feasible than mythical creatures.
