noahfor,

The answer is: “you can’t know”. There is nothing mysterious or puzzling about this, it is a logical conclusion based on the properties of the concept you proposed.

Your question plays word games. If you have a universe (dimension) that cannot come into contact with our own, then attaching the attribute of “existence” to this universe would contradict its description. Another words you can’t claim that something exists unless you have knowledge of it. Since you describe this universe as something that we cannot experience it would mean that we couldn’t have any knowledge of it.

Hence we can't know if such a “non-relative” universe exists or not and never will because of the way we defined it. Asking for proof of the existence of such a universes is asking for a contradiction of its definition.
