It is a rather complicated subject. To put it simply, it is an extension of string theory, where higher dimensional "membranes" exist, and the collision of two membranes was possibly the cause of our own Universe. We supposedly live in a three-dimensional "brane". According to string theory there are ten spatial dimensions plus time.

How many dimensions are respectably embraced by science in 2012?

Depends what you mean by "respectably." M Theory, a type of string theory, requires the existence of eleven dimensions in which the strings can vibrate. If you consider M Theory to be "respectable," then the answer is eleven. If your view of M Theory is that, "It's so bad a theory that it's not even wrong," then you might say that eleven dimensions is not respectable.


What does the M in M-theory stand for?
