Many books and articles I have read try to describe the extra 6 curled up dimensions in string theory as "attached" or "existing on" every point in 3d space. The last time I read this was "the elegant universe" by Brian Greene. Well, if a point is merely a piece of information that is not actually a place or tangible thing, then how can dimensions exist on, near or within something that isn't there to begin with?
