Super String Theory

this is actually only one of the string theories, there are about 6 of them and they cite different number of dimensions (10 or 26) as well as higher order theories (M-theory etc.)

nobody knows which one is correct or even if only one is correct though
moreover, after more than 30 years of PhD theses and thousnads of papers written no experimentally testable results have been produced and most of it is just theoretical considerations so the jury is still out

Theres no way to scientifically prove other dimensions because we only have (and will probably always only have) the tools to detect input from our own dimension. Thus it's only a theory and will probably be a theory... FOREVER.
The whole reason why the extra-dimensional theory exists is because when they do their gauge calculations on a photon it comes up as either 26 dimensions or 10-11 dimensions (depending on the formula used Bosonic or M-Theories) instead of 4 dimensions (which we live in). So they are getting this result but, they can't experimentally test and prove the result itself.

^^This is all mathematical theory.. Supposedly a theory of everything that tries to mesh the chaotic quantum theories with Einstein's theory of relativity. When you think about it, there's actually no way to physically prove most of Einstein's theories.. How do we know that sun light/light energy comes from colliding gas particles? We can't observe this..
Hmm future... well time is all relative as well, it's just a concept of the human mind....
