It is very hard, but i believe it can be done without the need of inventing 11 dimensions for matter and 26 dimensions for force, as have string theorists done. Do you believe in string theory?
Dimensions are human invented. hmmm... I don't think so then it would be much like telling that universe is there because u are there. Dimensions are the understanding of human thought. That doesn't mean they are human invented. And yes we can explain the universe in a much simpler way than giving all those extra dimensions. Space time is continous is what i believe but it does become discrete at special circumstances like beginning of the universe and in the singularities.

Do i believe in string i don't know because i don't know anything about it. If you could name a good book i can follow.
