The other 22 or 23 dimensions have to be special. Otherwise, Poisson's equation doesn't have nice solutions.

Likewise, observations are consistent with a 4-dimensional hyperbolic geometry; that's what the Minkowski metric gives.

I am told there are an infinite number of solutions to Einstein's equations. Not all are consistent with physics such as we know it. What do you mean by hyperbolic dimensions?
