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.
I am certainly no expert but I get the feeling that there is some very complicated maths to explain something that is currently beyond their understanding and they might look back in 50 years and laugh.
