I said imagine that all that exists is a line. But you're right, all that exists isn't a line.

(When I use the word dimension I mean measurable quantities such as length, width, and depth. If that is an inaccurate definition you should let me know.)

My reasoning for how the universe could be dimensionless relies on the point of view that the universe exists as a singularity, there is nothing outside of it. If one was able to try to measure it from the "outside", it would have no dimensions because measurement is a comparative operation and there would be nothing to compare it to.
