theoretical physicists used mathematics to describe what they believed was a particle necessary for the existence of mass called the higgs boson. the math described something that could not be visually represented on any scale digitally due to the fact that the math said one rotation of this particle occurred in 720 degrees of spin. that's something we're simply not equipped with the hardware to visualize. nonetheless, CERN got the funds and built the Large Hadron Collider, the biggest particle accelerator ever made and something hailed as mankind's most impressive machine, and found the higgs boson.
so in a way, you're right, but nonetheless, lack of imagination is no reason to give up trying.
edit: and on another note, the higgs boson is proof of another dimension. absolute proof.
