The Multiverse
The Multiverse was formed by a random fluctuation of energy called the Big Bang or Event Zero. This explosion created Normal Space (N-Space), and Exo-Space (which has negative coordinates). All of the various Parallel Alternate Universes would later be artificially created based off of this one. Each of these Universes exists by collapsing and expanding over billions of years. The Multiverse is made up of 11 dimensions: The three spatial (dimensions 1-3) and two temporal dimensions (4-5) form first. The remaining 6 dimensions curled up into the size of a proton to become the Six-Fold Realm (aka Calabai-Yau Space).
There are (probably) an infinity of parallel universes located 'sideways' in time. Like all universes these universes are defined by the conscious choices of their inhabitants. It is relatively easy for a for a fully functional TARDIS to travel to a specific parallel universe if one knows that universe's phase shift, but this will strain and possibly damage a poorly maintained vessel. It should be noted that if a TARDIS that relies on scavenged fuel (as opposed to the Eye of Harmony on Gallifrey) travels into a parallel universe it would be without power. Fuel collected in this Universe can only be used in this Universe. The TARDIS would be dead unless a source of Gallifreyan energy or a local temporal anomaly could be found. While it is possible to send a message to a specific parallel universe it requires the power levels of supernova to transmit even a short message.
The Lost Dimension (aka the Void) is the space between each divergent realities and parallel universe. The Void has no temporal dimension and nothing for the conscious mind to believe in. It is composed of pure Void Stuff which is neither matter, nor energy. Anything that passes through the Void will be contaminated by Void Stuff. The contamination can be visually identified by humanoids by placing red and blue filters over their eyes. While Void Stuff normally has no negative effect a breach in the universe will cause all Void stuff (and anything it has contaminated) to be pushed back into the void.
