I've been wondering about this as it has come up publicly, at least by one physicist.
However, string theory and M theory both predict a fixed number of spacial dimenstions due, as little as I understand it, to the number of vibrational modes necessary for the number of particles known. A year from now, the
biggest solenoid I ever saw will be testing for other dimensions.
