Hey there, I've just started learning quantum mechanics and I'm currently reading about gravity and higher dimensions. That is, I know so very little and would like to see if somebody could lend me some clarification .

The uncertainty relation comes from the fact that matter waves in and out of existence, right? Then are the particles waving through these higher dimensions that we talk about?

General Relativity (IE, gravity) does not necessitate any dimension higher or lower than our own.
