Breaking the fourth wall

"The fourth wall" is the wall that separates fictional worlds from reality, so breaking the fourth wall is basically saying that you know that there's another universe outside of the fictional one.

The Fourth Wall

The fourth wall is the imaginary "wall" at the front of the stage in a traditional three-walled box set in a proscenium theatre, through which the audience sees the action in the world of the play.
The idea of the fourth wall was made explicit by philosopher and critic Denis Diderot and spread in 19th-century theatre with the advent of theatrical realism, which extended the idea to the imaginary boundary between any fictional work and its audience.

Speaking directly to or otherwise acknowledging the audience through a camera in a film or television program, or through this imaginary wall in a play, is referred to as "breaking the fourth wall" and is considered a technique of metafiction, as it penetrates the boundaries normally set up by works of fiction. This can also occur in literature and video games when a character acknowledges the reader or player.
Deadpool breaks the fourth wall many times in his new video game. One example includes:

Wolverine: What were you doing over there?
Deadpool: Just a little surprise for our player!

fourth dimension

The fourth dimension is time, as defined by Einstein in regards to the Theories of Relativity. The Spatial dimensions are those of height, length, and depth. The fourth dimension can be related to a hypercube, much as the first dimension is related to a line, the second two lines connected at perpendicual angles to one another, and the third dimension being a cube. The fourth dimension is(sometimes) associated with the space-time continuum.
It is truly inane to travel to a universe that is based only upon the fourth dimension, as that woould include only time, and no being could truly exist.

Fourth Vorn

The Forlorn Vorn. The lusted-after coming age of terror and chthonic despair.

Will be ushered in at the Breaking of the Third Vorn - the Vorn of the Homochrist, which will be sooner than you think.

At this cathartic point, the poofternicious stranglehomold of egalitarianism, socialism and Christianity shall evaporate and be replaced with the most baleful and universal acknowledgement of the Necrowizard's bleak eternal supremacy of frost.
By Vorthak, my droogs! This pathetick homoverse breathes its last! And we are privileged enough to be bidden to its fall! ALL HAIL THE FOURTH VORN OF PERPETUAL BLASPHEMODESOLATION!
