Tips

memory

超 (chāo, beyond/super) + 维 (wéi, dimension) + 空间 (kōngjiān, space) — 'beyond-dimension space.' Same 维 used in 三维 (sānwéi, 3D) and 四维 (sìwéi, 4D).

In Pop Culture

《三体》《Sāntǐ》

The Three-Body Problem

Liu Cixin's hugely popular sci-fi trilogy makes extensive use of 超维空间 concepts — particularly the 'four-dimensional fragment' that becomes a major plot element in Death's End (《死神永生》).
