And some claim 20+ dimensions! It's going to be interesting to see if physics can come up with any evidence of all those rolled up little 'spaces'.

What they are now will be unknown as those objects now are much farther away from us than what they were then, and beyond the horizon limit. In effect we never catch up with those objects and by the time we did reach where they are "now", those objects would most likely no longer exist.
Sure, like I said, it was a simple interpretation!
