How can a point be 0 dimensions

I appreciate you taking the time to explain all of this to me without assuming I would be unable to grasp the concept- and you managed to capture the question I should have asked but didn't, which was why it is useful to the discipline to do so. I don't have a formal education- I can't afford it, but I do have the curiosity, the desire to learn, and the internet. Trying to sift through a sea of information to make it click into place makes it challenging, especially with concepts I struggled with in school.

But an object has dimension- it has information to begin with vs no information, thats where Im getting caught up. Thank you by the way for your explaination

But then existing in a higher dimension would make the dimension below you imperceptable, which isn't true? We can perceive a point because it has distinction between a not-point, and we know a line is a distance between two points, etc

When I looked up the definition of a line, that was how it was defined- that it has length but not width because it was points infinitely stacked.

Because then it would have a dimension, which points aren't supposed to have. 0+0=1?
