gollark: I think you're confusing a bunch of things right now. Or possibly just two things, many worlds and extra spatial dimensions.
gollark: "We"?
gollark: ???
gollark: Things which extend into those instead of just having a constant fixed position in said new spatial dimension are also not going to somehow stop being subject to time, unless the laws of physics privilege it somehow, which would be really weird.
gollark: For one thing, if you add extra spatial dimensions to our universe on top of the existing 3, it isn't suddenly going to gain multiverses or something; ignoring all the complex physics things I'm not aware of which are probably sensitive to this, it will just be another direction in which you can move, perpendicular to the other 3.
