Does the universal Law of Gravity, make our Universe 3 Dimensional?

Sorry but the universe has more than 3 dimensions. There are the 3 spacial dimensions but the space-time continuum as we can see it has that 4th dimension of time. Potentially, there may be more dimensions that are so tightly curved that they neither have any effect on us or can be identified. It is believed the branes exist in 10 or 11 or possibly 99 dimensions. Gravity as defined by the general theory of relativity (which is more accurate than the law of gravity) shows that it is the warping of the continuum by massive bodies that gives rise to gravity as we see it. The actual paths of bodies and forces is a geodesic in 4 dimensions as the particle or force tries to move by the shortest path which is the geodesic as it does not move through a perfectly flat medium, like the great circle route taken by aircraft flying around a curved planet. The motion is then distorted by mapping a 4 dimensional situation into the 3 dimensions our minds use for spacial relationships. So, it is the fa
