You state that, and then you delve on to prove the opposite. You lost me.

The way I know science, we have:
- A mathematical model saying that neither galaxies nor atoms are stable 
if N!=3
- Empirical evidence that both galaxies and atoms are stable

The way I know how science works, pending further changes in the whole 
way laws of physics are understood (but it would have to be a pretty 
fundamental change, that pretty much scraps everything and starts from 
scratch), we can say that the Universe is three dimensional. Being as it 
is that the above is as close to certainty that any physicist might hope 
to get (make that - any scientist), it is usually phrased "it is proven 
that the Universe is three dimensional".
