Update: 13:45 GMT Thanks to Al and others who sent me this extra info.
On Radio 1 on Jo Whiley on Monday. Naveen Andrews was been interviewed and he said something similar to what has just been posted in the spoiler section about been in another dimension.
Can you link the interview to the site as its quite interesting. I hope for his sake he hasn't let the cat out the bag.

Here is a little snippet from a recent Sky One interview with Naveen Andrews.
Iain Lee: "[In series 3], there were some of the best episodes. Desmond, and the "Flashes Before Your Eyes." Jumping through time. Whoa, that was good.
Naveen: "Well, there will be more of that, I think. Different dimensions."
Iain: "Different Dimensions?!"
Naveen: "Rocketed into the Fourth Dimension!"

Can anybody make out anything out of this?
The term "Rocketed into the Fourth Dimension", is often associated with the Spiritual plain(sp?).
i.e. "Rockected into the Fourth Dimension of Existence", which would allow you to see the dead and the living, simultaneously.
I can't tell if he is being funny or serious. If he is serious, then I doubt we will be getting anymore Naveen Andrews interviews if that is true. That is a pretty big bomb if he is telling the truth.
I'm at a loss. Any cultural meaning behind 4th dimension that anyone can recall?
He also said something similar on an interview on radio 1.
Hear it here.

Just scroll down to A/Z of all shows......Naveen Andrews interview.
He will get shot off the writers.......literally
I was always taught the 4th dimension is time, so maybe it has something to do with time travelling, who knows
That's what I thought nacho! If that is the case he hasn't really revealed anything, we know time is a concept that is played with in this show.
He's not stupid enough to reveal that though it does make alot of sense really.
He said Sayid might appear in another dimension...
It should simply mean the 4th dimension, time. Episode 4x03 is a flash-forward for Sayid.
Why are my comments not posting? Whatever.
Anyway, I doubt this is supposed to be a spolier really. But I hope it's true!
Am I the only one kinda irked that he says he doesn't watch the show? If you're an actor involved in something as big as Lost, wouldn't you at least try to know as much about the show through watching it?
I dont think it was a big deal...the 4th dimension is time...it was just him talking about things jumping around from flashforwards to flashbacks
Good point Juju but no, doesn't bug me.
Not a big fan of the whole "alternate dimensions/timelines" thing.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but seem to remember multiple cast members saying that they only receive their scripts mere weeks before a particular episode is shot. In fact, the only cast member rumoured to know anything about the big picture is Matthew Fox.
I believe anything Naveen and co. speculate about is just that...speculation. But it's pretty cool that they theorize like the rest of us :)
In the fields of Physics, Mathematics and Engineering, the fourth dimension is taken to be time.
@ LoneAssasin, that bugs me that MF would know the big picture and others don't; what makes him so special? Whatever reason, that's a crock of poo.
The 4th dimension is time. But... that's time in ONE dimension... Naveen is quite well educated so will know that.
The 5th dimension is "space" and brings alternate realities (parallel universes) into play...
that is, the 5th dimension plays with what happens in any given time, creating multiple possibilities...
There are more dimensions than 5 which scientists talk about... but it gets complicated with string theory and so on...
So anyway, the first 5 dimensions are pretty easy to understand I reckon...
Lost will not go beyond 4 dimensions, this ain't science fiction.
4th dimension is simply time, he's just aluding to flash forwards.
I agree with jake3988, all he means is that there will be flash forwards as well.
For the mind-blowing season 1 finale, Naveen had said that there were a dance floor under the hatch. I know this doesn't make sense, but I think Naveen is great on playing with the words; he might have meant something other than dimension, fourth dimension, or fourth when he said that. Let's keep watching. :D
Well, the 4th Dimension is definitely time, but I will argue that the 5th Dimension is just a bad band from the 70s. How can the 5th be space when dimensions 1 thru 3 are spatial dimensions?
Anyway, LOST, on a level, is science fiction...polar bears on a tropical island...they've made it sound like science played a part in that. Since it's fictional and dealing with science, ergo, science fiction. :)
Everyone, just smile and enjoy the ride...wherever it takes us! :D
Taylor... you can imagine the dimensions quite well in terms of "animation" up to the 4th dimension... the 4th dimension would be like having something like a fast forward/rewind button on life itself, but without the ability to change anything.
It's hard to describe the 5th dimension exactly, but, consider this: desmond's shirt. Imagine that there's a slider bar which you can move backwards and forwards and would change the colour/shape/style of his shirt.
Except... this slider bar can do MUCH more than that. It can basically alter anything - anywhere in time.
To travel in 5 dimensions would mean that you could travel to any of those alternate realities and live them. Probably not "change" them... but just live them. If you consider that there would be infinitely many of these alternate realities then anything you'd want to do would be done by you on one of those dimensions anyway...
For example... if you burnt your hand on the toaster this morning... there are infinitely many other realities where you didn't (and infinitely many more where you did - or did something even more spectacularly stupid).
I think...?
"the 5th Dimension is just a bad band from the 70s"
Or it could just be that... :-)

wow guys 4th dimension is time and naveen didn't reveal anything here.
this video explains it quite well:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=qU1fixMAObI
Jo Whiley's cool. But *sigh*, is Naveen going to ruin it for all of us? Sometimes I just think he really hates Lost. :(
I don't think he hates LOST Amber, I think he hates what the behind the scenes dynamics has turned into. He's been very outspoken in the past; he didn't want Maggie or Dom to go and I don't think he liked the circumstances surrounding their departure from the show.
This is, I believe, the same as the YouTube link above, but the site has tons of information. I tend to think it possibly explains a lot about Lost.
Well, kinda dumb not to include the link, eh?
Imagining the 10th Dimension
Since we're talking time and space, I find it interesting (in my recent Googling) that the Minkowski-Bouligand dimension is also known as the box-counting dimension.
Hmm. We hear a lot about boxes on this island -- and off it -- don't we?
I don't think theres much chance any of them will "let the cat out of the bag". If they didn't feel these actors could withstand the pressure of a radio interview, I can't imagine they'd have let them know too many crucial plot points. Give him the benefit of the doubt.
One of the spoilers for episode 4, I believe, said something like "Seeing what happened to Daniel's rocket in the previous episode..."
So there's something literal with a rocket from one of the first four episodes. I can't seem to navigate to the Insider-Scoop-esque reviews from last week, but if you read them, there's something specific with a rocket in there. I'm sure that's what he's referring to.
i heard the radio 1 interview the other day, he also suggested that the writer had no idea what smokey was and just put it in there because they like monsters...he was basically just messing around trying to be funny...i dont think anything he said was based on any truth! i think some people got that he was winding us up, but maybe some people took it seriously?!!
and his alan partridge impression was spot on.
and his alan partridge impression was spot on.
and his alan partridge impression was spot on.
So we see flashforwards, big deal.
That isn't a spoiler, or even big news.
Now, if we do have real time travel by a character, then the door is opened up for all kinds of whacky theorist out there... like me.
Who said this isn't science fiction? This show is totally a science fiction show. It's a science based fiction story. And ... in one of the first ever interviews with the producers, they said that one of the biggest hurdles they had to overcome was getting a major network to pick up a Sci-fi show in a major night-time slot....
They can go as far as they want... but will prob not go further than any science based theories are involved..... they are trying to take a far out sci-fi theory and make it understandable and relatable and keep it appealing to the masses... very clever!
I am sure the writers do know about the black columb of smoke that roams around the island. Smokey is just as a big character as Vincent, Jack, Locke, Ben & co are.
I think the 4th Dimension thing involves;
The past, the present, the future & Desmond's flashes & quite possibly what's goin on with Jacob.
I thought someone needs to take away some of the volcanic ash that surrounds Jacob's cabin in order to crazy stuff like disappear ^ reappear? If we saw Locke do that, then things might av been that little bit easier to follow. I hope this gets touched on future episodes!!
One word: Orchid
see the film on youtube and conclude for yourselves
"Rocketed into the 4th Dimension" is a direct quote from page 25 of the big book of Alcoholics Anonymous. What this has to do with Lost, I have no idea, but that is where it comes from.
Also not that it's any of our business but Naveen Andrews has talked about being in recovery before, so i'm assuming he's probably just referencing this sentence because of that.
i think he means the future
C'mon guys, use your heads. The actors don't know anything outside of what they have filmed. The writers don't share the storylines / plotlines / or secrets to what's going on with Lost with the actors until it's absolutely crucial to the scene they are filming.
The only big reveals Naveen Andrews could give us is to what's going on with Episode 7 and 8, aka: who dies and the whole Michael storyline.
Ahrean2007: I know, I was just being melodramatic :)
I've just found in the past that he's been negative much more than he has positive.
