I see a two dimensional object; if i had 3D tv ; I would see 3 D. What you show is a representation of an interpretation of a possible 4th dimensional obect based on extrapolating on 3 pieces of data, that being the three dimensions we can observe
1,2,4 what is the next number.
also just because it could exist isn't a proof it does.
1,2,4 whats the next number i,m thinking off. Was i thinking of another number?

Imagine bacteria on a piece of paper. They are so small that they would think the universe is 2D, but then they would see anomalies like imperfections in the paper (e.g. small bumps) because it's not perfectly flat. This would suggest to them that there's another dimension.
I believe that we are the same. We can't comprehend the "next" dimension (if there's one) because we are limited somehow in the same way the bacteria are. As for anomalies in this universe... well I don't think there's evidence of that sort so far.
I agree with what your saying but we assume the would see abnormailty , but for discussion sake does this mean that when we see an abnormality and cant explain it yet with current scientific thinking within the context of our 3D universe ( 4 if you call time a dimension ) we would be correct to assume its caused by another dimension.
