The problem is that math predicts many other dimensions. The problem is
that we humans lack the ability to imagine these predicted dimensions with
anything that approaches understanding. There are 3 dimensions we can
see... we interact with them every day of our lives. They are height, width
and depth. Some argue that time is a dimension, but better minds than mine
in the world of physics argue that back and forth.
We can argue how it might be possible to discern the so called 4th
dimension, but it is pointless. Scientists seem to argue what that is, and
we humans are not equipped to handle the problem. So as interesting as it
might be to perform what Einstein called a "Thought Experiment" it is not
possible to understand anything other than the three dimensions we interact
with, know and understand. We certainly can't capture anything else of
film.
