Seems to me, here on Earth, I can go North-South, and I can go East-West and I can go Up-Down ... three dimensions!! In the Milky Way Galaxy, one day I might be able to go directly towards the Galaxy Centre, or follow our spiral arm, or go up, out of the Galactic disk .... three dimensions!! And other Galaxies aren't all in the same plane ... three dimensions!! And, of course, the Universe is expanding ... in all directions ... three dimensions!! -- Daniel
