You are confusing what "dimensions" means.

Height, Length, and Width are dimensions. An additional dimension would have to be perpendicular to all three of these. It's not a question of traveling "to" another dimension, it's a question of being a 3-dimensional creature (with a length, width, and height) in a universe that may have more than 3 spatial dimensions.

Some scientists think that black holes do not exist. Some other scientist believe that black holes are not as drastic as the generally accepted description (which says, among other things, that at the centre of a stellar-sized black hole, there should be an object of boundless density); these scientists believe that there are other stages of degenerate matter between neutron stars and nothingness, like quark stars and, maybe, preon stars.

However, these few scientists have not yet convinced the rest of the scientists that their theories could work. (Well, they did for quark degenerate matter but not for preon degenerate matter).

Therefore, most scientists still believe that black holes do exist and that matter in a black hole is drawn to a singularity (a point or circle of boundless density).

Black holes are thought, by some scientists, to be linkable, through wormholes, to other locations in the universe (and maybe towards the past, maybe towards the future) but we have no idea how one could use wormholes as a travel route (without getting squished, that is) and we do not think that it could lead to 'other' dimensions.

There are two 'types' of science (and scientists): those who try to push theories forward by using them as they are, and building upon them (this is what most scientists do in their work); there are scientists who question the theories (including 'established' ones) and try to prove them wrong.

Both types are essential to the good working of science.

Until the beginning of the 20th century, the established theory of gravity was Newton's. Then along came Einstein who showed a better theory which is not simply an improvement of Newton's, but a totally new approach.

However, one must be careful: just because someone writes a theory that goes against 'established' theories does not automatically mean that they are on to something. Most 'established' theories are established because they have survived lots of challenges.

Remember, we have no direct evidence of black holes. It is all circumstantial evidence.

1) The other dimensions speculated in string theories are not the ones you can travel to.

2) What scientists are saying black holes don't exist? They are more accepted now than ever - because we keep finding more and more evidence for them.

3) What do black holes have to do with time travel?

4) No, you can't travel back in time. You can just travel forward in time more slowly.

If other dimensions exist yes it's possible to travel to them to put limitations on anything would be absurd ,but common thinking of dimensions isnt the only type of dimensions which may or may not exist, in string theory there are many dimensions some on the atomic scale and i havent heard that black or worm holes dont exist last i heard we were discovering them almost daily within our own galaxy.

What the heck conclusions are you jumping to?

Tell me what scientists have denied the existence of black holes? The Hubble telescope has been proving their presence all over the place, and you come up with this statement?

No scientist presently knows if travel to other "dimensions" is possible or not.

A black hole is exactly what it says it is.... a black hole. This means that scientists have little to no observable, measureable knowledge of what's inside them. "Black" refers to "unrevealed" or "unknown". All the rest that you may or may not have read about black holes from a reliable science book is hypothetical, mathematical speculation, not fact as yet.

The "scientists" that said that black holes don't exist aren't really scientists. There is overwhelming scientific literature that has provided hard evidence for the existence of black holes. There's one in the the center of our galaxy and probably most galaxies in the universe.

There are many good reasons that black holes are non-viable entities and I am sure they do not exist.
The universe is a three dimensional spacial entity and nothing can leave it as long as it is in existence.
