The Calabi-Yau space is so incredibly small that it permeates
absolutely everything in this universe. This is the mechanism behind
God's transcendental omnipresence--because the Calabi-Yau space is
'beyond' our 4-D space--and immanent omnipresence--because it is so
small that the whole of it exists throughout this 4-D universe. God
is not 'just' up there; but, rather, everywhere. However, every
'thing' does need space in which to exist and most of God's existence,
which is in the Calabi-Yau Space, is not bound to the temporal
dimension and is, therefore, eternal by virtue of being atemporal--
without time.
