i dont know if im right but,i believe the first is a straight line,2nd is a flat square,3rd is a square that has length,width,and height.4th is,err,forgot.and people say that there is a 5th dimension thats sometimes called crunching?? =_=' i dont think i have it right....xD

the fourth dimension would be time, and currently scientific belief holds that there are more beyond that. but no names have been given to them.

In physics, the fifth dimension is a hypothetical extra dimension beyond the usual three spatial and one time dimensions. Some scientists have speculated that the graviton, a particle thought to carry the force of gravity, may "leak" into the fifth or higher dimensions which would explain how gravity is significantly weaker than the other three fundamental forces. The Kaluza-Klein theory used a fifth dimension to unify gravity with the electromagnetic force, and now is seen as essentially a gauge theory with gauge group the circle group. M-theory suggests that space-time has eleven dimensions, seven of which are "rolled up" to below the sub-atomic level.
In 1993 the physicist Gerard 't Hooft put forward the holographic principle, which explains that the information about an extra dimension is visible as a curvature in a spacetime with one fewer dimensions. For example, holograms are three dimensional pictures placed on a two dimensional surface, which gives the image a curvature when the observer moves. Similarly, in general relativity, the fourth dimension is manifested in observable three dimensions as the curvature of path of a moving infinitesimal (test) particle. Hooft has speculated that the fifth dimension is really the spacetime fabric.

5th dimension would probably be something about gravity and time so maybe physical time? and Anything that believable or not get to a dimension like that would be like a black hole or something which this is a fact if u go faster than the speed of light u make it through a black hole. Im guessing :P. Well basically it would be Gravity since u got time in there
and shapes and w, l Id have to say its Gravity

hey there, the fourth dimension is the time dimension. Im not sure about the term "crunching however, but you could think of a 5th dimension as beingg able to observe where you have been at any given time, like and infinite amount of snapshots in time. However, the concept of higher dimensions is better left to mathematics. For example, in linear algebra there can be subsets of higher dimensions to create subspaces within a space. but yaa cool stuff!!!!

Well, the fourth dimension is time and according to String Theory there are multiple 10, 11, or 26 dimensions depending on the point of view.
