Infinity, Sets, and Causality

No.

Real/physical dimensions beyond 4 are not "proven". And Im not talking about the sematics of theory here. I mean they are not accepted as true by the majority of the scientific community.

Neither theory of Relativity requires more than 4 dimesnsions.
You definetly didnt prove it here.

On the other hand they do exist and work as mathmatical constructs.

I think the current top number of dimensions I've heard is 12 in addition to time. Of course these are theoretical as you had said.

As an interesting side note, several years back (4-5 years) I saw an article in my physics class that suggested that gravity worked primarily in the 4th physical dimension (not time but something else). If this was true, it could show why there is such a discrepancy between the strength of gravity compared to electical, strong, and weak nuclear energy. They were trying to measure the gravitational force of objects which moved extremely small distances. The idea was something like if they measured a greater tahn normal force, then they were right.

It's kind of hard to describe, especially since I read it so long ago.
