"It is perhaps interesting to speculate on the practical consequences
of Einstein's discovery. I do not doubt that he will be believed. A
prophet who can give signs in the heavens is always believed. No one
ever seriously questioned Newton's theory after the return of Halley's
comet. Einstein has told us that space, time and matter are shadows of
the fifth dimension, and the heavens have declared his glory."

I don't remember Einstein talking a "fifth" dimension. Maybe that's
why.
