Well, if those atom-made gases are what exploded out of the Big Bang, then where (in what dimension) did the quantum particles come together to form those atoms?
If you've 'always heard that nothing but gases came out of the Big Bang', you need to find other people to listen to. Either that, or you need to listen more closely. Gases did NOT come out of the Big Bang - they formed later. Even the subatomic nuclei which formed the atoms which formed the gases were not an immediate product of the BB.
Nothing 'exploded' out of the BB.
The quantum particles you refer to formed in the earlier (but not earliest) phase of the expansion, a period known as 'symmetry breaking'. To ask in what dimension the quanta formed is an incoherent question.
I confess to having done some research on this topic. It took 6 minutes, not ten years. Lazy bastard, you.
