agree with miguel H. how can there be more than 3 dimensions? the best answer is that there is a 4th dimension which is time but ask albert einstein for the explaination.
for mathematicians, however, they can govern nth dimensions in their calculations (but there is still no possible actual representation of the so called nth dimension).

Easy, there are. We live and see in 3 dimensions. What we experience is all 3-D. That's why it's so hard to imagine anything more than that. But it's there. We may not be able to trust our senses but we can trust our experiments. There is at least four dimensions, maybe more.

If incomple sentences are the criteria then 3 will have to do. If you are asking How CAN there be more than 3 dimensions?... then the answer is the 4th dimension is TIME.

In the simplest terms, without getting into things like string theory or, even, physics, there are at least 4 known dimensions.

Normal space is defined in four dimensions: length, width, and height, as we all know, but also time. Time is a dimension as objects (you, me, tube socks, whatever) exist only in their respective time frames just as they are only so tall, so wide, and so deep.

Think of the flame from a candle. It burns so high, so wide, and, so deep but it also only burns for a certain amount of time. The length of time for which it burns is as integral to defining its existence as any other measurement.

I call this the Complete Idiot's Guide to Quantum Physics:

So, how? "Easily, if you can just wrap you head around the idea"? This is probably why not everyone is a physicist.

When dealing with physical space, time is the 4th demension.
