Using this phenomena, we can calculate the mass of a galaxy by measuring how much it distorts the light. What we find while doing this is that there is a lot of mass in most galaxies that is having an effect on light however is not actually present. This is a type of dark matter and what we find is that in some galaxies, up to 90% of the mass is not actually present. Mass is occupying the region where the galaxy is located however in 3 dimensional space, its not there! The explanation to this is that the hidden mass must be occupying the 4th dimension, so it still has an effect on light, however it's not present in the 3rd dimension. The 4th dimension can also explain the existence of worm wholes, which may one day in the distant future allow us to travel to distant places without spending millenia is interstellar spacecrafts.
I guess the 4th dimension should be time though as hawking assumed.
