Five-dimensional space

Imagine you are playing with toy blocks. You can stack them on top of each other to make a tower, and you can move them around in different directions like left, right, forward and back.

Now, imagine you have one more way you can move the blocks - up and down. This is like adding another dimension to the space you are playing in.

Okay, now think about adding another dimension - instead of just moving up and down, you can move in another direction that's not left, right, forward or backwards. This is like expanding the space you are playing in again.

If we keep adding more dimensions like this, we end up with five-dimensional space. This means we have even more directions we can move in, like twisting and turning in different ways.

It's hard for us to imagine what five-dimensional space would look like because we can only see and experience three dimensions, but some scientists believe it could help explain some things we don't fully understand about the universe.
