The 248 dimensions are abstract and what we use to 'hold' numbers that don't quite fit. This is only on paper. It is not too complicated, actually, look up Linear Algebra on Wikipedia to get a simple read on this stuff.
Supersymmetry, or String Theory, so far, claim 11 dimensions in the universe. You are aware of the first 4, height, width, length, and time/space. After the Big Bang, the first thing that was created was matter and anti-matter (called smatter). We are aware of almost all of the matter, and most of the smatter went into another dimension. We also believe a lot of the gravity went into yet another dimension. Thats why the universe just keeps expanding. To look up info on the other dimensions, read "Supersymmetry" by Gordon Kane. He and Edward Witten (who wrote the foreword) are considered 2 of the best in this field.

It's the way all the permutations work out to. Look here
