Question 1: Can we conceive of/construct any spatial dimension other than our own?
I do not think it is possible to conceive of or construct any spatial dimension but our own. Humans like to fantasize that they can truly conceive of the first and second spatial dimensions. I think that we bastardize the first and second spatial dimensions to fit into our understand of the third dimension. For instance, when attempting to express even the first spatial dimension, we represent it as a dot. Even a dot, however has a sort of length, width, and depth. We cannot fully imagine what a first spatial dimension would look like. It is for the same reason that I think we could not fully imagine a second spatial dimension. We are severely limited to perceiving things in our third spatial dimensional worldview. Presumably, if the third spatial dimension does indeed exist, it would have the foundations of first and second spatial dimensions. This leads me to wonder a few things.
The first of which is the following: do we actually understand the third spatial dimension? I would say yes; I think that we have only an understanding of the third spatial dimension, as seen by the fact that we impose third spatial dimensionality upon our universe-view. This is not to say that this universe is not a third spatial dimension universe, it is only to say that this universe may have lesser dimensions and higher dimensions upon which we impose or our third spatial dimension understanding.
The second of which is do alternate spatial dimensional beings exist? If so, could we conceive of them? I think that it is possible that alternate spatial dimensional beings exist (first, second, fourth, two hundredth, etc) without our knowledge. I think that because we cannot experience anything different from our spatial dimension, we would be unable to conceive of or process the existence of such beings; horribly nasty seventh spatial dimensional monsters could exist around us without our knowledge.
I have other questions, but that would make for a crazy long(er than this) blog post. So, what do any of you think?
