I can't understand the dimensions thingy. Can you go into those dimensions? What would it be like? And most importantly does it hurt?

From what little I can follow (still waiting for Quantum Theory for Dummies to be written) it seems that membranes are closer to what we would call dimensions.
What they call dimensions seems to be like this....
a fungus lives in one dimension, a bacteria in 2d like on a flat surface, an animal in 3 adding up/down, we live in 4 by adding time. Not a great comparison but something along those lines. Whats twists the head and makes you not sleep so well is.. a 2d might cross the paths of a 1d but the 1d will never be able to understand what it was and why it did what it did. It would seem to appear and disappear from its universe. A 3d animal might interact with a 2d but its way beyond any understanding. A human might cross paths with a wild wolf which will never understand the whats and whys of it. Even more so if another human crossed its path later since the explanation would involve time. Not so much an intelligence thing, just that without that dimension all of the explanations fall flat.
Thats 4, out of 10. What if all unexplainable things were 5, 6, 7... awwh heck figure the most unexplainable is sitting at 10. NAHH forget all that. Thats for someone else to figure out when we get smarter.
