    Is it physical ? Galaxies and Quasars . With Life included .

    Shape , Form ?

    Is it mathematical ?

    It is a property of physical objects:

    a measurable extent of some kind, such as length, breadth, depth, or height.


    Yes, all of those things have shape and form and thus dimensions.
    Obviously. Like everything else that can measured.
    Allows? Try to stop any physical object having physical properties!

    In physics and mathematics, the dimension of a mathematical space is informally defined as the minimum number of coordinates needed to specify any point within it. Thus a line has a dimension of one because only one coordinate is needed to specify a point on it – for example, the point at 5 on a number line.

    There are no False Dimensions. There are, in fact, no dimensions that require a class identity or capitalized initial.

    Response by Jeeves

    And in real physical objects .

    Space is necessary for the manifestation of real physical objects , from the sub-quantum to Galaxues and Quasars .
