It's an order of magnitude more demented than the fourth?

if your talking about dimensions to describe an object than there there is more than 5 in fact recently scientists have found as many as 11 dimensions

If you are speaking in purely physical terms then a five dimensional space would be one in which it is possible to have 5 mutually perpendicular lines at one point. Think of the surface of a sheet of paper, any point on it can have two perpendicular lines. If you then think about the space we live in, you can have three . Now adding in a fourth and fifth can not be imagined since we are creatures of a three dimensional space (as far as we currently know). Someone said something about 11 dimensions but this is just a theory and no real proof exists that these other dimensions are real, If you want to read some simple but interesting introductions to thinking about dimensions, there are a couple of old books; Flatland and Sphereland I think they are called.
You can think about these things by comparing wih smaller numbers of dimensions where you can see or understand what is going on. Take Flatland. This is a plane, like a sheet of paper, a two dimensional space. Now we are three dimensional and can not be seen as we really are by any creature living on this Flatland since they are restricted to that two dimensional plane. All a Flat person could see of us would be where we intersected the plane he lives on. And suppose we reached down and picked up one of these guys. To his friends he would have simply vanished. Now think about us and our three dimensional space. Suppose there is a fourth spatial dimension and creatures living there. One of them could pick someone up and, to others around this person, all they would see would be this person vanishing. There one second, gone the next. And this because that person has been moved in a direction perpendicular to the three that we live in, a direction that we can not even imagine. Now think back to the 2D guy picked up and moved into the third dimension. His vision is 2D so if you rotated him so his field of vision scanned along his Flatland plane he would be able to see inside things and people (what he sees being the intersection of his plane of vision with the plane he lives on). Now if we were picked up by a 4D guy and he rotated us so that our vision scanned through our space, we would be able to see inside closed objects, like houses or buildings or a safe, and also inside people. But it would be a strange vision, you would not see things as you see them now. It is interesting to think about these things. You can also extend things to other dimensions again by comparing with smaller numbers of dimensions and then extending to more. Take a square. It is 2D has 4 lines for sides. Now a cube. It has 12 lines for edges and 6 planes for sides. Sides of an object are always one dimension less than the object: a 2D square has 1D lines for sides; a 3D cube has 2D planes for sides. So, extending this to 4D, a 4D cube or hypercube has 3D cubes for sides and has 8 of them (number of sides for a "cube" of N dimensions is 2N, see above and think about it for a second). In a square, pairs of lines are opposite each other. In a cube pairs of planes are opposite each other. So in a hypercube pairs of 3D cubes are opposite one another. Now area of a square is S**2 (where S is the side of the square), volume of a cube is S**3, so hypervolume of a hypercube is S**4. The "volume" of a cube of N dimensions is then S**N.
Anyway you can carry on this sort of thinking and it can be interesting and maybe provide some insite into thinking about other dimensions. Now a 5 dimensional cube would have 10 hypercubes for sides and so on (I will leave the more complicated reasoning to you).
Or I can talk about the Fifth Dimension and Wedding Bell Blues or 5D by the Byrds. Thinking about dimensions greater than 4 though requires a bit more thought.

Ax,hahahaha,now you humans ask me?OK,I'll tell you.The 5th dimension is none like the other 10437.This one is better than the 4th.Oops,too much info.Keep exploring.
