"An intriguing feature of string theory is that it predicts extra dimensions. In classical string theory the number of dimensions is not fixed by any consistency criterion. However, to make a consistent quantum theory, string theory is required to live in a spacetime of the so-called "critical dimension": we must have 26 spacetime dimensions for the bosonic string and 10 for the superstring. " --Wikipedia
Seeing as theorists don't know and can't agree on the number of dimensions, could it be that there's unlimited dimensions?
If there were infinite dimensions, that'd certainly make things easier to work with, would it not? Instead of saying one theory contradicts another, many of these theories would fit into different layers of the greater science.
I'm not a theorist, just a creative thinker, so I have no way of knowing if I'm on to anything, but this would certainly make things more practical.
