Among other things there must be more than three for string theory to work.

The math requires more than 3 dimensions.

If you are not fluent in scientific math-speak you cannot expect to understand the science. The most you will be able to do is watch Discovery channel documentaries where journalists present pretty animated demonstrations of the science which if you are lucky get it maybe half right in a quaint Discovery channel sort of way.

In science given a choice between commonsense and believing the mathematical formalism you must always believe the math no matter how weird the result.
