So I know of the 4 main dimensions, but is there a 0d, which would be the vector for building the others?
As in, it would be the dimension where the others meet?
I hope this makes sense.

Hi. Usually that is the origin of any dimension. a single point has no dimension.

You're treading a dangerous line; I ask you to define "dimensions." It's such a difficult and abstract word to define. I know you can have, for example, log(2) dimensions, by the Besicovitch-Hausdorff dimension theorem/formula. It's really rather interesting that 2.12312312321 dimensions are possible.
But depending on how you define the concept of dimensions-by quantity, intuition, etc-it's going to be hard to set a definition for 0 dimensions.
For a tangible answer, I'm going to say that 0D is not possible, based on the theorem that i mentioned above, b/c they use logs in their theorem (which works for structures like the Koch curve). Because logs never equal 0, there can't be a 0D.

The two main directions physics theory is going today do not suggest one unifying dimension. Although, modern particle physics rests on the idea of a Higgs particle which confers mass and quantum state upon all other particles (except dilaton, photon and graviton).
Some theoretical frame works have suggested our 4d universe is actually an illusion, and that only a 2d universe actually exists. This is colloquially referred to as Hologram Theory.
Then, there's string theory, which says the 4d universe exists in a lower entropy state supported by 7 other dimensions, for a total of 11. THis is referred to as M-theory.

You have discovered the fatal flaw of logic,it is all a house of cards.The men in black will be arriving shortly.Looks like they have to visit yabahoob again,third time this month.J Z ,have you seen "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead"?

od..= overdose...this will put you in another dimensions but it also could kill you...i would not advise this for anyone...very dangerous

a point, which is not a vector
