This is a continuation of the intro to the theoretical model from page 1. And they get into something called string theory which is very much debated:
String theorists, however, need a slightly more complicated vision to empower their superstring theories about the cosmos. In fact, it’s quite easy to assume they’re showing off a bit in proposing 10 or 11 dimensions including time.
Wait, don’t let that blow your mind just yet. One way of envisioning this is to imagine that each point of our 3-D world contains not a retracted tape measure, but a curled-up, six-dimensional geometric shape. One such example is a Calabi-Yau shape, which looks a bit like a cross between a mollusk, an M.C. Escher drawing and a “Star Trek” holiday ornament [source: Bryant].
Lol at the Star Trek holiday ornament remark. That is actually true if you have ever seen his drawings which are definitely surreal. Enjoy the video and stay tuned for more related content as new research comes in.

To damn many
10 we have access to but there are more we as physical beings are not allowed access to.
The real question is “how many in the multiverse?”
3 no more no less, and it’s not how well you mow it’s how well you mow fast.
…I see things in 3D….
If you watch Star Trek a lot, you will find quite a few dimensions. Does each parallel universe count as a separate dimension? Now, if you’re a 70’s music fan, there’s The Fifth Dimension. LOL!
I watched a movie in 10D the other night. It was $ 5 a hit… I meant per ticket.
12
String theory says 11
