As of now, string theorists have no explanation of why there are three large dimensions as well as time, and the other dimensions are microscopic. Proposals about that have been all over the map.
So when you ask me how string theory might be tested, I can tell you what's likely to happen at accelerators or some parts of the theory that are lik… - Edward Witten
