Tom and Andrew attempt to punch through to the fifth dimension via the Large Hadron Collider, explaining string theory and the problems with the space-time continuum on the way.

How many dimensions does the universe have? According to these guys it depends on what theoretical model you are using and the answer can be 4, 5, 10, 11 or 26 dimensions.

String theory proposes the existence of more hidden dimensions than those covered by their location in space and time. However this is not consistent with Einstein's theory of relativity.

Using the Large Hadron Collider scientists have begun researching the possible existence of other dimensions by colliding protons together, thus creating regions of extremely high energy. They then check detectors, looking for evidence that they reached the fifth dimension.
