To what dimension was the universe made?

  Okay, this could be seriously off topic - but is there a way of defining Universe in 'n' dimensions? From whatever little knowledge I have about Universe, the biggest hurdle in setting up dimensional coordinates for anything is going to be selecting the location of the origin.

  Solid geometry is fascinating. Andhra University library was a great place. All sorts of books were to be found there. One was: Edwin A. Abbott's Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions. I later bought my own copy. It is a fantastic voyage into multi dimensions. As beings occupying an essentially 3D space it is difficult for us to 'see' higher dimensions. We do not even see the third dimension. It is only our binocular vision that allows the brain to interpret the third dimension. The author starts with a 2D being, who understands the concept of 3D and dares to look at even more dimensions.
  The physicist George Gamow considers this in his Tomkins books. Each one of us can be considered to be a long worm kind of entity, the length being time. The beginning of the worm is the child. The cross section at any instant is the person at that moment.

  Indeed it is. From what I have read in a website, The Great Scientist Stephen hawking once finding equation (i forgot name of that equation), he wondered if we dis-integrate that equation, the point when the universe was created, its age, & even its mass can be known. But, unfortunately, when disintegrating, the protocol of mathematics are distorted & desired result is not obtained. Fascinating , isn't it ? *Maths can't defeat Eternal-Nature*
  
  Coming to dimensions, According to string theory there are 26 dimensions of what universe is made up of, we know four dimension : Line, plane, time & spacetime(space acting as 3D & time being another dimension, combining makes 4th dimension). many theories revolves around spacetime, & one is worm-hole. There's even an assumption/Theories saying, Aliens are there at same place where we are, but in different dimension.

  we have learned alot of our surroundings by what we are endowed with taste touch feel breathe and our mind and with these abilities we can master our world at this moment until the 3rd deminsion but what about the next one yes we have fear of it like learning how to walk but I believe we can comprehend the 4th from our desire of better things. well look for example do frequencies travel in the fourth? well here could be one device like our eyes to the third.

  the universe is the basis of all dimensions which is why celstial things can exist in it and we can fathom the existence of all of them in it. i got one what about stars?
