Yeah I get that, but there is no evidence of a 4th spacial dimension, so it's really just creative writing at this point.

There is evidence of space time being curved

Yes, but just because the discrete distance between 3D points isn't constant does not mean a 4D space exists that allows for what is being proposed.
