The superstring theory of the universe postulates that in addition to the four dimensions of space-time (up-down, left-right, back-forth, plus time), there must be seven additional dimensions which have different characteristics than the four we are familiar with. Together, these 11 dimensions form a reality plane in the shape of a Calabi-Yau space (depicted above). Some of these dimensions may be time dimensions as well as spatial.
Yes, it's complicated, but that's where we all live.

It's beautiful in an eerie way.

A friend of mine's father was a physicist. I didn't understand him either.
