What does Earth look like in Dimension X?

[Andrew NDB]

Unless you're stepping through a dimensional gateway that takes you across not only an alternate dimension, but space as well... then if you're stepping through a dimensional portal from our Earth into Dimension A, B, C, D, or even X, you would essentially be stepping onto the same, corresponding space within any of those alternate dimensions, yes?

I ask, because do you think the glimpses we have of Dimension X in the Fred Wolf series -- generally a red, post-apocalyptic terrain -- are glimpses of Dimension X's version of Earth itself?



I'm not certain I subscribe to it or not, but it might be a sound theory that, you know how in the Archie TMNT, Dimension X is just apparently another galaxy in space (not unlike our own Milky Way), not an alternate dimension at all? It's possible, then, that the entire Archie universe IS Dimension X, and that's where OT Krang is from.

I just thought of something. Wouldn't Earth in Dimension X just look like it did during seasons 8-10, the "red sky" seasons???

If it was a blasted ruin and conquered by Krang, I guess, is my thinking.

Dimension X is a whole universe though. The few places we saw where the Technodrome was and some other alien planets was just a small part of it.

I never thought of there being an Earth equivilant in Dimension X, its not something the show ever brought up either.

But dimensions are parallel universes, separated from our own only by somewhat different timelines populated by different events... i.e., Star Trek's mirror universe or such. Stargate SG-1's dimension hopping couple of episodes is a better example too.

If it's supposed to be a galaxy in our universe, then "Dimension X" is just a poorly thought out name and the portals are just for the sake of ease of travel across the expanse of space.

If it's another dimension proper, then yeah, there could potentially be another Earth I suppose. But I don't think another dimension would need to be anything in particular like our own. It can be it's own thing with it's own planets and landmarks, it doesn't have to be a mirror dimension or anything. I think the problem is defining universe/dimension/galaxy more than anything. Is a dimension another layer of the same universe, or are universes contained inside dimensions?

I never got the impression that Dimension X is parallel dimension, just an alternate dimension.

Have any of you guys read the Mode series by Piers Anthony? It explains parallel dimensions rather well. If we start at A with (the turtles') Earth, then the further away you get (at X) the stranger and less like the starting dimension the one you are in will be. This might explain Usagi's dimension, it may very well be closer to the TMNT Earth than Dimension X is, which is why it was populated by anthro animals. Hokum's Fairy Tale dimension is probably closer, as well. So the more dimensional lines one travels across, the stranger the terrain and races would be! It's kind of like having thousands of lines of parallel railroad tracks. They may all be lined up side by side, but each one is in a slightly different position in terms of changes in terrain, weather, climate, length of day, etc. And the number of dimensions is INFINITE.
