Space-time theories {Kaluza-Klein theory} can use four space dimensions and one time dimension. Fourth space dimension is only several Planck lengths long, has curvature so high that it makes a circle, and is unobservable. A small fourth space dimension allows the vacuum to have higher energy density than three space dimensions have.
