In science we attempt to classify everything. And everything seems to be a subset of something else. Planet is a part of a solar system, solar system is a part of a galaxy, galaxy is part of the universe, universe is a part of our dimension, etc.

Obviously there are exceptions to this, rogue planets, but we still consider them contained.

I understand the idea of multidimensions is theoretical, but if they exist, do we have a name or even a theory what might contain them?

    How are you using a keyboard as a 1-dimensional being? 😛

    In all seriousness, I understand your question is more about alternate universes? In that case, I guess the term is Multiverse

    Edit: Speaking of 1-dimensional beings, I just remembered a really cool video with Carl Sagan about dimensions, maybe it’s interesting for somebody reading this!
