Dinosaurs could exist... do they?
The same goes for unicorns and almost anything else you can come up with, but doesn't exist (as far as we know).
you are making my point but acting like you are refuting it?

You wouldn't be correct in that assumption.
First use all the tools at your disposal which use the standard dimensionality... When all these fail, try to use a higher dimensional solution which, when approximated to the standard one will yield the abnormality.... that's what the guys are trying to do with string theory..... but it's so complex they can't do these approximations very well.
It was a rhetorical question which I was hoping led directly to the very answer you have given, so again we are in agreement, glad to have you aboard on this one

Or something similar.
Not coming because other dimensions if they exist would be part of the Cosmos. But I have a zinger to throw in but not yet as the discussion is interesting and the zinger will probably derail it

Or that other dimensions can't be proved to exist, so all of science is a lie created by the devil to pull us away from the one true Cod.
I wonder how he is going to pay his hand exciting isn't it, and it's in 3D?
Nope but I concede I do need everyone to reach a consensus that dimensions can't be proved to exist for now before I can attempt to play my hand.
