Scientists have found properties of atoms that can't be explained in 3D, but can in like.. 11D. So that makes you wonder... perhaps we all live in a 18D world... while men can only use 3 of them...
Isn't that 'folding space' from that sci-fi thriller with Sam Neill?? What's it called... it used to be Shadow_Link's location...

Ah, the M-theory in an 11-dimensional theory. If I'm not mistaken, it also has an advantage over the older superstring theories of allowing a more natural merging of gravity with the other three forces.
The current leading candidate though (to my dated knowledge) for a 'theory of everything', superstrings, suggests that we live in a 10-dimensioal universe, with one dimension of time, and nine spatial dimensions. The reason we don't see any evidence for this is that the six extra dimensions of space are curled up on themselves so tightly that they cannot be observed.
