God lives in at least 11 dimensions with at least as 8 in space and 3 in time as proven by particle accelerators in physics

Humans live in 3 dimensions – height, width, depth and 1 in time but only in a single direction).

The Bible talks about at least 2 dimensions of time and 6 dimensions of space.

Angels most likely operate in a 4th and 5th dimension but not in 10 dimensions.
