I know something that wasn't included in the 10 dimensions: Nothingness/Oblivion. The only thing outside all possibility of all things that exist is that which does not exist. Data: "Could lack of dimension be a dimension in itself?"

I read that book,. So even though I can't view the flash right now, I have a pretty good idea what's going on
One thing I found intriguing was the seemingly supernatural powers an extradimensional being would have over a being of lower dimensions. If a Flatlander had cancer, for instance, we 3D beings could just pluck the tumor out seemingly by magic, because there's a whole side of him not covered in the third dimension. An extradimensional being traveling through lower dimensions would appear to disappear and then reappear again while he was traveling. For example if you were walking on Flatland, its citizens would only see 2D cross-sections of your feet and then see them disappear as you lift your feet. If beings of higher dimensions were traveling thorugh 3D space, we would see random blobs appear and then disappear as they were traveling.
Also, to the people who reamrked it's hard to envisage things in higher dimensions, it's actually physically impossible. Our brains have evolved only to visualize three dimensional space or lower. That's why higher dimensions can only be explained in terms of analogs between us and lower dimensions. All of you should definitely pick up either Hyperspace or this other guy's book. It's some very cool stuff.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
