Rules:

*You can teleport into and out of it at will

*It has a couple of plug sockets and can connect to internet from the region you teleported in from

*You can take objects and people with you

*As already stated, it is (3m)^3 (3m*3m*3m). The walls are plain plaster with a light in the middle of the ceiling. The pocket dimension is topologically toroidal, so if there weren't walls and a ceiling/floor (which you can actually destroy) you would loop if you went more than 3m in any direction. Gravity, then, is artificial and can be altered to anywhere from 0 to 2g from a dial on the wall.

Edit: additional specifications

*You can only teleport out to where you teleported in from.

*Time proceeds at the same rate inside the pocket dimension

*There is an eject button for those inside to get out if something happens to you

If I bring luggage or a person in with me, can I leave them there for a few hours? Would they have a way to get out if something happens to me? (Travel just got easier in my mind)

Edit: also, did you mean 3m x 3m x 3m, or 3m^3, which is 1m x 1m x 3m?

3m3m3m

And time works the same in the pocket dimension, and sure there is an eject button for them to get out if something happens to you

~~3m^3 is 3m x 3m x 3m.~~ Cubed is a number multiplied by itself 3 times no?

While cubed is a number multiplied by itself three times, here m³ is the units, meters-cubed. So you would have 3 one-meter-cubes.

Ah I see now. Thanks.
