i'm wondering how the scientists can show 8 dimensions or more in our universe...

I believe that you may have as many dimensions as are needed to ** describe ** the situation. In simple physics, you can describe an object's location with 9 dimensions: x, y, z, x velocity, etc., x acceleration, etc. Total of 9 dimensions describe the position of the object. But maybe you care about its mass or temperature or age or sex or something. Just add dimensions until you can describe the thing of interest in the context of your analysis. Got nothing to do with Hawking.

If you're talking about the 11 dimensions of string theory they claim that they are coiled up very small. I don't believe a word of it!

By `Cartesian coordinate system`.

I still don't get the atom thing, how can they know what they are if they can't see them?
