I suppose there was that TNG episode with all the different Enterprises from different dimensions... maybe there's something in that episode that relates to the dimensional aspect.
Cool!

Yeah, Star Trek has always picked which ever time travel theory advanced the plot best. The slingshot effect used in STIV was established to be within the normal universe. In this movie, its quantumm mechanics theories, and they could say the blackhole was both a gateway and a time portal. Which is also why Spock can't go back. Even if he pulls the Slingshot effect out, it would only be that universe's past/future.
