An infinite number of universes is a very different concept from an infinite universe. The two can not exist together, you have one or the other. An infinite universe assumes a universe that goes on for ever and ever, after the big bang it will just keep on expanding. If it keeps on expanding it means there can be no parallel universes as the universe will expand into their space.
Therefore at first glance it seems nonsensical to talk of an infinite universe and an infinite number of universes. Therefore all the universes in a multi-verse world must have a limit. This of course can be easily refuted by suggesting that though boundaries/ limits of the universes can be touching they do not need to touch on all sides thus leaving one side open for continual expansion. One can illustrate this in their mind by taking boxes and lay them side to side, say an infinite number of boxes. One can then put infinite number of boxes on top and at the bottom and at the back but leaving the fronts with no boxes. This means a single box has other boxes on 5 sides. and all have no boxes on the same side leaving room for infinite expansion on that one side. This would make sense in combining the idea of an infinite universe, infinitely expanding as well as a multi-verse existence.
However, though novel the thought pattern above is it destroys the notions of dimensions. Higher dimensions bind in lower dimensions. Therefore any concept of an infinitely expanding universe might very well contradict the idea that higher dimensions exist. What higher dimensions essentially supports is that there are an infinite number of universes at every dimension until we reach an infinite dimension. There is only one universe of infinite dimensions that can exist. All other dimensions exist inside the one infinite dimensions, this is still a massive universe and we probably do not understand more than 0.1% of it.
If dimensions exist, and they have to, logic, the very fact that 2 + 2 = 4 at times when dealing with knowledge and 2 + 2 = 2 at times, (the basics of the principles of transdimensional mathematics, we can call this the khumalo principle as I was first to bring this concept and show it is always correct) heavily lean towards the concept of dimensions, in fact are best proof of existence of dimensions thus far.
However when people misunderstand dimensions they confuse themselves. They confuse themselves as to satisfy their intellectual curiosity to ignore one of the principle laws of knowledge, the law of consistency. This is the case with the so called brane theorem proposed by Paul Steinhardt and Neil Turok. They suggest that other 3 dimensional reality could be right next to us suspended in higher dimensions. This is not understanding dimensions, it is breaking mathematical concepts understood in high school. It would be laughable if it was not because of how the media supports them they are taken seriously. It is advantageous to be born of the elite, politics everywhere including science. This thought comes from biblical stories that angels just appeared from nowhere, Steinhardt and Turok are just attempting to make it into physical reality. What they are simply implying without knowing it is that at higher dimensions there is an overlap of dimensional planes, illogical.
Why overlapping. Think about it, if there is another 3 dimensional universe suspended in hyper-dimension, meaning suspended in a higher dimension, then there is an overlap off dimensions at that higher level. Then with the laws of consistency then with all the technology, we can see 13.7 billion light years the edges of our universe, why have we not seen overlapping in the third dimension, why is our universe not overlapping with another. Turok and Steinhardt where not ready to put forward such a theory, did not fully understand dimensions. We are not talking of the world of the dead, or spirit world, we are talking of the living.
An infinite number of one dimensions make a 2 dimensional plane. An infinite number of 2 dimensions make up a 3 dimensional plane. An infinite number of 3 dimensions make up a 4 dimensional plane. It then becomes nonsensical to suggest that there is a 3 dimensional universe right next to us suspended in higher dimensions. Build up from basics, do not throw basics away when trying to fix a problem you do not understand. Any universe that overlaps ours is a universe of higher dimensions strictly because though our existence is confined to 3 dimensions, right now we exist in a 4 dimensional universe that is wrapped up by a 5 dimensional universe that is ultimately wrapped up in an infinite dimensional universe.
As we exist right now influences of higher dimensions are everywhere because a 3 dimensional universe exists in these higher dimensions. The greatest influence however is the 3 dimensional universe we exist in, but all other dimensions have influence. There is no suspended universe of 3 dimensions, that is breaking consistency. The next three dimensional universe is at the boundary of our 3 dimensional universe.
Basically what this article is saying is that our universe ultimately has to be limited if there are higher dimensions. Reason and logic are more and more pointing towards higher dimensions. Therefore this universe has to have a boundary to allow the existence of higher dimensions. The universe is only unbounded at infinite dimensions, but nothing ever changes at infinite dimensions, it is timeless. Either higher dimensions exist or they do not, that is the question of boundaries on the universe.
Dimensions by mathematical logic must limit our universe, but greatly expand existence.

Dimensions and Mysterious of the universe
From studying knowledge we know maths, particularly calculus behaves differently at different dimensions. The higher the dimension the less the rate of change. This is an easy concept to grasp. Suppose somebody tells you something you do not know, well your knowledge increases, there is addition to your knowledge base, in this case 2 + 2 = 4. If somebody tells you something you already know, there is no addition to your knowledge base, in this case 2 + 2 = 2. When 2 + 2 = 4 following conventional rules, knowledge can be said to be acting as a 3 dimensional variable. When somebody tells you something you already know 2 + 2 = 2, knowledge is behaving as a phenomenon with infinite dimensions.
This means when talking of dimensions, the answer to 2 + 2 can be anywhere between 2 and 4. This maths of course will be refined more and more as time moves on. We are strictly talking of spatial/ scientific dimensions, spiritual dimensions are best understood by theologians.
All dimensions exist now. It means right now there are infinite dimensions, ten dimensional planes, 4 dimensional planes. Right now there is a dimension where there is no change, the space covered by infinite dimensions. Hypothetically speaking, if there is no change, that part of the universe has existed for ever, and will exist forever.
Do infinite dimensions exist? If somebody tells you something you already know there is no change in your knowledge base. However one can question what if human beings did not exist, how then would this hypothesis hold up? A well versed reasoner would immediately counter such skepticism with the fact that many mammals teach their young, pass on knowledge to their young be they other primates, dolphins, elephants, cats, dogs, or kangaroos. When these mammals pass on knowledge hey know to their young, or each other, when they pass on what the intended recipient already knows, there is no change to intended recipients knowledge base, concept of infinite dimensions at work again. But there are always skeptics, and they are good for knowledge, we must move away from the mind and look at a physical phenomenon.
Einstein warned people to keep things simple, if you can not simplify it to its basics you yourself do not understand it. Mathematics is there to explore scientific hypothesis, but if you can't break it down to simple language where is the understanding? A board in a lecture theater full of long complex equations is useless if each step is not fully comprehended. It is better to understand one step completely than 1 000 steps halfway even if it makes one feel intelligent.
There is another phenomenon that like knowledge will help us understand dimensions, that is time. Time dilation is a verifiable fact. Time is not a constant throughout the universe. The most simple explanation we have for this phenomenon with increased scientific knowledge is dimensions. Greater physical forces lead to greater play by higher dimensions. We know at infinite dimensions there is no change, it means time too will not change, in fact at infinite dimensions the concept of time can not even exist. As we go higher and higher in dimensions time slows more and more. The slowing down of course cannot be abrupt, so even before getting to a 4 dimensional spatial space, the next dimension from our three dimensional existence, time will be slowing down as we approach 4 dimensions. This phenomenon is occurring everywhere in our three dimensional universe, if not time will be everywhere constant. All these forces, electro magnetic, gravity, all play with dimensions, the final answer is it is dimensions, a combination of many forces that finally affect time, why a clock on Jupiter will run at a different rate than a clock on earth.
All humans interested in our world and universe, one need not be a physics major, just a curios mind were excited by a paper written by Ahmed Farag Ali proclaiming no big bang. But when we understand the universe in terms of dimensions, they seem to have confused a stage of infinite dimensions and three dimensions. True, universe has existed forever without need for a big bang, but logic points to this only at the infinite dimensional level. At the three dimensional level difficult to rule out big bang. It is only at infinite dimensions that there is no change, at this level there is always change, seasons, stars changing positions, universe expanding, a lot of evidence for initial start, a big bang.
However Farag Ali, Mir Faizal, Mohammed Khalil are spot on when they say different dimensions could exist, they do exist or the universe would not make any sense, the concept that at times 2 + 2 = 4 and at other times 2 + 2 = 2 would not exist, but it is a logical and mathematical fact.
Remember an infinite number of 2 dimensional planes create a single 3 dimensional plane. An infinite number of 3 dimensional planes will create a 4 dimensional plane. Therefore it makes sense that there are an infinite number of universes. According to dimensions, the multi verse theory is spot on. All dimensions exist at once. So as we speak a big bang can be happening right now on some other 3 dimensional universe as there must be infinite 3 dimensional planes/ universe to make one 4 dimensional plane/ universe.
It logically follows that infinite 4 dimensional planes/ universes fit into one 5 dimensional plane/ universe. Therefore a 5 dimensional spatial space has infinite number of 4 dimensional spatial spaces, and each 4 dimensional spatial space has infinite 3 dimensional spatial spaces, meaning a 5 dimensional space has infinite x infinite 3 dimensional spatial spaces, the universe is larger than we have thus far conceptualized.
Just to make sure it is understood. A line is made up of infinite points. A line is one dimensional. What dimension are the points? A two dimensional plane like say a square is made up of infinite lines, of infinite one dimensions. A three dimensional phenomenon like a cube, ourselves, our planet, our universe is made up of infinite 2 dimensions. A Four dimensional phenomenon is made up of infinite 3 dimensions. Therefore logically we have infinite universes like our own. However this in no way suggests that there an infinite you or me out there. Each universe will be unique, just if you pick up a rock and cut it into 2 dimensions, each 2 dimensional phenomenon that makes up that rock will be unique, unique in shape as a rock is not uniform in shape. Why should a universe be uniform in shape that is just not natural. The key word is uniqueness. Each universe that makes up the four dimensional universe is unique. Therefore there are an infinite number of universes at each dimension but there is only one universe at infinite dimensions. Remember each universe is unique, there are no infinite you or me out there.
The only way we will ever reach the stars is by manipulating dimensions, 100 miles per hour in a higher dimension one takes up far more space than they would in a three dimensional plane.
Dimensions are the future of physics, of understanding our universe. As humans, do we need to question ourselves about the concept of God's, a creator, does dimensions offer any insights. Maybe, it depends of course on how one looks at things. We know at infinite dimensions there is no change, it is timeless, constant. There are infinite three dimensions, but there can only logically be one infinite dimensions, where all the other dimensions lay in. Is this the origin. At infinite dimensions all other existence is below, one can be anywhere at an instance be that anywhere involve 10 dimensions or 3 dimensions. We are only at the beginning.
