Five dimensions in physics
In physics, the fifth dimension is a hypothetical extra dimension
beyond the usual three spatial and one time dimensions. Some
scientists have speculated that the graviton, a particle thought to
carry the force of gravity, may "leak" into the fifth or higher
dimensions which would explain how gravity is significantly weaker
than the other three fundamental forces. The Kaluza-Klein theory used
a fifth dimension to unify gravity with the electromagnetic force, and
now is seen as essentially a gauge theory with gauge group the circle
group. M-theory suggests that space-time has eleven dimensions, seven
of which are "rolled up" to below the sub-atomic level.
In 1993 the physicist Gerard 't Hooft put forward the holographic
principle, which explains that the information about an extra
dimension is visible as a curvature in a spacetime with one fewer
dimensions. For example, holograms are three dimensional pictures
placed on a two dimensional surface, which gives the image a curvature
when the observer moves. Similarly, in general relativity, the fourth
dimension is manifested in observable three dimensions as the
curvature of path of a moving infinitesimal (test) particle. Hooft has
speculated that the fifth dimension is really the spacetime fabric.

In science and maths, the E8 is one of the most difficult puzzle which
no one can solve for more than a hundred year.
It has finally been cracked by a team of 19 mathematicians four years.
The final computation took more than three days' solid processing time
on a Sage supercomputer.
E8 is a 248 dimensional objects !? I could comprehend 3 dimensional
objects in our universe,...have difficulty understanding the 4th
dimension of time...in space. 248 dimensions in our universe...!!!
Anyone in this forum can explain how ways to comprehend more than 4
dimension ?
