Five-dimensional space
There is a diferrence between "is debatable" and "is debated". The former can be taken at face value, the latter requires a source. Kleuske (talk) 19:22, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

I agree that there is certainly a higher level of inference for debated than debatable. My only qualm is that the threshold to be considered a "topic of debate" can be quite low for such subjects as impalpable properties of the universe. I've tried to inform myself of Wikipedia's policies regarding citation, including citation overkill/underkill, common sense, and common knowledge. From my perspective this seems to be one of those gray areas where a citation would not add to the quality of article, and the lack of a citation would not detract from it, i.e. it's inconsequential. Also, it seems exceedingly unlikely to me that the concept of a fourth spacial dimension would not be a topic of debate in Physics classes, forums, social media, etc.; so much so, I think it should be considered prima facie. I will however concede that to state something is a "topic of debate" can give the impression that it is problematic or questionable, which would sufficiently raise the bar high enough to require a citation. Perhaps if it were reworded to "topic of discussion," then the need to provide a citation would be less debatable 67.181.250.5 (talk) 23:24, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
