Can a zero dimensional object exist? If you had the power to create an universe where you can choose its characteristics, is there a way you can create an universe that admits a zero dimensional object? If you were able to create a zero dimensional object, would every zero dimensional object be the same? In a zero dimensional universe, can there be only 1 zero dimensional object? I didn’t understand the concept of zero dimension really so these might be really dumb questions, I only know that a zero dimension point is just a mathematical concept, but I want to know if there could be something else

A dimension is just a way to measure things. Think about a graph: anything you can put on a graph can be called a dimension. Time, mass, velocity, energy, etc are all dimensions. The dimensions you’re thinking of (I assume), are the planes of physical space.
So, an object could exist that does not require physical dimensions. I would actually say that a magnetic field fulfills those requirements. Despite existing within physical space, it interacts without having a physical representation.
Let’s say you wanted to build a zero dimensional universe. Honestly, that’s really easy. If you run a video game on your computer, that’s basically a whole universe that’s made out of electrical signals.
That means there’s absolutely no reason there couldn’t be a universe with only energy inside it that creates extremely complex patterns like our own. There’s also no reason that our universe couldn’t be that exact thing, either. So, no, there wouldn’t only need to be a single object inside a universe with zero dimensions.
