I heard it has something to do with Einstein's Relativity Theory. I have heard it before, and it understand that we, as three dimensional beings, are unable to see it, just like "two dimensional beings" are unable to see the third dimension. It just pops out of nowhere! But, I am unsure of the whole idea, and where it originated from, and scientists thoughts about it. Thanks!
