The extension of quantum theory to N dimensions, proposing that particles exist not just in superposition across probability space but across all dimensions simultaneously. In N-dimensional quantum mechanics, an electron isn't just a wavefunction in 3D—it's a hyperwavefunction in N-D, with components in dimensions we can't access. This explains quantum entanglement (particles share higher-dimensional connections), wavefunction collapse (observation selects not just a probability branch but a dimensional slice), and why your car starts making that weird noise only when you're already late (quantum mechanics hates you in all dimensions). The mathematics are so complex that even the equations have equations, and solving them requires computational resources from dimensions where computers are infinitely faster.
*Example: "He tried to explain N-dimensional quantum mechanics to his mechanic. 'The noise isn't in the engine,' he said. 'It's a quantum phenomenon involving dimensional superposition.' The mechanic said the noise was in the alternator, which existed in this dimension, and charged him $500. In another dimension, he fixed it himself and saved the money. He was not in that dimension."*
