宇宙由四个空间维度组成。除了人们熟知的三个空间维度以外，还有一个隐藏的第四维度。
The universe consists of four spatial dimensions. In addition to the three spatial dimensions that people are familiar with, there is also a hidden fourth dimension.
在这个四维宇宙中，常规的三维“截面”尺寸最大。如果在第四维方向上偏移，则三维“截面”会被压缩。在第四维上偏移越远，三维“截面”压缩程度越高。
In this four-dimensional universe, the conventional three-dimensional "cross-section" has the largest size. If it is offset in the direction of the fourth dimension, the three-dimensional "cross-section" will be compressed. The farther the offset in the fourth dimension, the greater the degree of compression of the three-dimensional "cross-section."
科学家们仍在持续探索四维宇宙更深处的奥秘，但深处到底有什么却仍然不为人知。
Scientists are still continuously exploring the mysteries deeper within the four-dimensional universe, but what exactly lies in those depths remains unknown.
有人推测可能存在“深层平台”，即空间曲率的稳定区域，在那里无需持续消耗能量也能够停留。
Some speculate that "deep platforms" may exist, namely stable regions of spatial curvature where one can remain without continuously expending energy.
另一些人认为，深层可能存在某种适应了极端环境的智慧文明。
Others believe that in the depths there may exist some kind of intelligent civilization adapted to extreme environments.
还有一些更奇特的观点，认为到了某个深度空间压缩会逆转为膨胀，从而进入另一个平行宇宙。
There are also even more exotic ideas, holding that at a certain depth, spatial compression would reverse into expansion, thereby entering another parallel universe.
但主流的观点认为，空间压缩会随着在第四维度的深入不断加剧，直至汇聚到一个奇点。
However, the mainstream view holds that spatial compression will continue to intensify with increasing depth in the fourth dimension, until it converges into a singularity.
