On the other hand, we don't understand the theory too completely, and because of this fuzziness of spacetime, the very concept of spacetime and spacetime dimensions isn't precisely defined.

Stuff and Nonsense
A universe that's saddle shaped
in three-dimensioned space,
Is unimaginably draped
in four-dimensioned case.
A magnet steals a needle from
the feeble grip of Earth,
The photon force with much aplomb
accentuates its worth.
Expanding spacetime's relative
but nothing's at the brink,
To spacetime it's indicative
that things within it shrink.
The quasicrystal calls for more
dimensions than just three,
Essentially to underscore
Its perfect symmetry.
Some gravitons escape our four-
dimensioned universe,
And that is why the force is poor
at halting its diperse.
As time slows down near massive things,
black holes command it still.
There must be someplace time has wings
where density is nil.

There was a long history of speculation that in quantum gravity, unlike Einstein's classical theory, it might be possible for the topology of spacetime to change.

Craddock’s Time Theory Age Relative
light years apart
in space time
continuum
youth three-dimensional
stretching into mathematical models
age a fourth dimension
spatial dimensions
our spacetime passing each other
is space and time in a single continuum
our shared Euclidean space
on this plane of existence
is but the trap of physical flesh
our atoms bound at every point
in three-dimensional Euclidean space
by flesh infused fixed points
determined by three coordinates
yet our thoughts are timeless
infinite bound by no scientific laws
they can flow spread be anywhere any time
in universe at instant thought speed
instant in arrival at multiple locations
they enter into realities past curved space
worn holes are for porous slow minds
higher dimensions bypass imagination
non-Euclidean geometry the cage play pen
Einstein’s general theory of relativity
a manifold universe of but three
dimensions of space one of time
denies all time existing simultaneously
within a God state span spun within eternity
supergalatic subatomic levels are but focused lenses
begging new observations into eye opening realities
unperceived ignored unknown awaiting perception orientation
before eureka moment God reloading reality matrix

Strangely Substantial
I live with the Discworld view that everything, reality
and idea, comes into existence when created by
imagination, continuing in narrative
All-That-Is is the product of thought processes, everybody
interacts within temporary illusions brought about and
maintained by intersubjective consensus
It works as long as we remain in physical bodies to keep
these illusions alive; energy, intelligent and aware,
manifests freely, flowing towards everything
We are as unreal as the legends and myths we create, all
things are only as relevant and applicable as we choose
to make them; we are as strangely substantial
As the thoughts and ideas in our heads - I base my dreams
on the following elements: Delight in Manifestation, Joy in
Variety, Wisdom as Reason and Love as Respect
My life is woven of the visions and ideals by which we
transcend spacetime in blissful spirals of infinitely
continuing improvement…

Spin
Would you like to hear
music played on space?
Sphere in thrall with sphere,
twin black hole embrace.
Hear the orbs collide,
see the future fly.
Welcome to our ride,
true, the cost is high.
Lest your body spread,
first we modify.
Reinforce your head,
structures fortify.
Transformational,
one event sublime.
Gravitational
waves of space and time.
Here is your receipt.
listen, soft they start.
Syncopated beat
echoing your heart.
Milky way eclipse,
stars are lensed around.
Dark apocalypse,
luminous surround.
Orbiting at pace,
infinitely dense,
squeeze and stretch of space,
drumming swells intense.
Tighter, tighter cling,
faster, faster spun,
rising chirping ring,
coalesce as one.
Silent single whole.
Past the shadow's skin,
vision is our goal,
so we drift within.
Relatively fast
runs galactic show.
Inside, time is cast
relatively slow.
Turn to watch the light
pouring, flooding through.
Milky Way in flight,
future, streaming true.
Glorious preview,
exponential rush.
Fond farewell from crew
just before the crush.
Character succumbs,
unity is served.
All within becomes
spacetime, strongly curved.

Technically you need the extra dimensions. At first people didn't like them too much, but they've got a big benefit, which is that the ability of string theory to describe all the elementary particles and their forces along with gravity depends on using the extra dimensions.

Changing Dimensions Seen
Changing dimensions seen.
No retracting to step back.
Changing dimensions seen.
The past is gone and that's a fact.
Changing dimensions seen.
Changing dimensions seen.
A consciousness has been uplifted.
Changing dimensions seen.
And gone are all those flaws abhorred.
Changing dimensions seen.
Those bigoted with prejudice...
Find they've been dismissed.
And...
Changing dimensions seen.
Changing dimensions seen.
People sharing with a caring.
Changing dimensions seen.
And racists are considered sick.
Changing dimensions seen.
Changing dimensions seen.
A consciousness has been uplifted.
Changing dimensions seen.
And gone are all those flaws abhorred.
Changing dimensions seen.
Those bigoted with prejudice...
Find they've been dismissed and quick!
Changing dimensions seen.
Changing dimensions seen.
And...
No retracting to step back.
Changing dimensions seen.
The past is gone and that's a fact.
Changing dimensions seen.
That peace resisted over-rules,
And those who cling to hate are fools.
Changing dimensions seen.
And...
Changing dimensions seen.
And...
Changing dimensions seen.

Surf And/or Die
Earthbound to johnny boy just picked up your message
bout those balinese ikats you thought I might buy
Now your voice on my machine is more alive than what you are
Since your daredevil hang glider fell out of the sky
Now armands looked all over but he cant find your car keys
Were they under the tire? were they under the seat?
Because as it stands now your beloved white aires
Is fair game for the vandals up on makapuu street
And your grandmothers number, we know its here somewhere
But suze cant seem to find it, now shes losing control
And so what about her, and little eldon and layla
And that hypothetical spectre, your gilt-edged soul
Which defied many perils, in the face of all reason
And in so many settings and for all your young years
Insisting on pure freedom for its too-short season
Riding high on its ration of enchantment and fear
Over the hill and into the next meadow and on and on and on
In a near random universe there are still certain combinations
Picked out from all other possible ones
Which, when given some time and the just-right circumstances
Not too far from the earth or too close to the sun
They will dance and theyll spin in the embrace of the trade winds
Playing havoc with the hearts and the upturned faces down below
Until the laws of curved spacetime, susponed without warning
Kick back in with a vengeance for the last act of the show
Going too far too fast in that final wing over
As your glider comes tumbling out of the clouds
And you clutch at your chest but the chute never opens
And they find you there tangled in that white nylon shroud
When we get grandmas number I think Ill just say to her
Your johnnys home for christmas, it was a hell of a ride
And I know that some day youll be showing me those blankets
All covered in glory on the hereafter side, saying
There was never any question, it was always all or nothing
Surf and/or die

And it really began with Einstein. We attended his lectures. Now the theory of relativity remained - and still remains - only a theory. It has not been proven. But it suggested a completely different picture of the physical world.

The Link
They said it wouldn't last.
Those who stood in silent disapproval
On the sidelines out of sight,
With limbs and lips so still, unmoving,
For they know not what they see,
Those un-evolved freewheelers
Screwing face and soul together,
With no concept of the freedom
That is yours, for with no ego,
You walk hand in hand,
Through sun and wind and hail,
And remain as one within throughout this land
Of dimensions they will never see.
Levels they will never hear,
For they know not what you have
Nor all the things that you hold dear.
They know not who you are.
They cannot see and breathe your air.
Understanding not, the unbreakable link,
Forged many lives ago, in rain and fair.
They said it wouldn't last.
Who are they to say?
Step out brightly in the sun,
For today is your first day.

If I take the theory as we have it now, literally, I would conclude that extra dimensions really exist. They're part of nature. We don't really know how big they are yet, but we hope to explore that in various ways.

Anything is Possible
The code could also be a hologram - no-one
can explain how it was created by some mind
beyond imagination, we have to invent some-
thing to read the Book of Life
It states Einstein's Unified Field Theory exists
in a 5th dimension beyond these 3 dimensions
of space and 4th of time - quantum physicists
already agree a 5th does exist
Only fact about code's origin: no human could
encode it; proof of an intelligence completely
different from our own, we are not alone, an
outside encoder is somewhere
Michael Drosnin's report on code research
enriches my life, nourishment for a starving
imagination, I feel privileged to study the
theories and thoughts of scientists
Exploring myriad dimensions of holographic
reality by shining their mind's laser-light on it,
we live in a holographic universe constituted
of waves varying in frequencies
Anything is possible, those without interest
need never know - being curious I am not
content to remain in the dark when thought
can illuminate all to reveal the reality
Beyond eternity…

Still Life
Theres a picture in the hall, I know
And its from a time when feelings showed
Though I hold it close before my eyes
My heart refuses to see
Loving you could have been, oh so easy
But there is something you dont understand
Through the times when two were one completely
There was another in this well laid plan
This corridor seems to stretch for years ahead
But patient hearts cannot match times steady tread
Is this the threshold of a fantasy?
Is there still life at all?
Loving you could have been, oh so easy
But there is something you dont understand
Through the times when two were one completely
There was another in this well laid plan
Best laid plan of ours
Watering the garden, some comfort for the twilight years
Still, life never lingers, it marches past our veil of tears
A moments all weve got, to have and to hold
Dont slip, dont blink, dont turn your head
With a photographic memory
I could live in a time that used to be
Is this the threshold of a fantasy?
Is there still life at all?
Loving you could have been, oh so easy
But there is something you dont understand
Through the times when I was won completely
There was another in this well laid plan
Loving you could have been, oh so easy
But there is something you dont understand
There was a time when I was won completely
Our emotions they got out of hand

Sexy Peach
You're a sexy peach.
Delicious on the eyes!
Igniting my taste buds...
To get close enough,
To eat as my treat!
Sexy peach...
I'd love to rub against your fuzziness.
And cuddle on the beach.
Sexy peach...
I wish to feel what now appeals,
And even lick the pit of it!
I'd like to bite every slice...
With the dripping of the nutrients done,
Provided by the succulent Sun.
And your fuzzy on my lips...
Inviting you to kiss,
That sweetness I can not resist.
Let's share it and strip away...
Those inhabitions exciting the addmission,
We both desire to pleasure and ride.
Sexy peach...
I'd love to rub against your fuzziness.
And cuddle on the beach.
Sexy peach...
I wish to feel what now appeals,
And even lick the pit of it!
