For instance, Quantum Mechanics seems to be an addition to Relativity, working on a different scale. Certainly didn't refute relativity.

Newtonian mechanics are very, very good for certain scales, yields to Relativity when the measuring gets more precise. For most purposes, such as hunter-gatherer survival on the surface of Earth, Newton would suffice. Very well.

It seems to me that as science starts to probe some of the other 10 or 11 dimensions there will be more conditions which don't apply to the 4 dimensions of which we are more familiar.

For instance, dark matter. Doesn't seem to follow some of the rules, anyway. Someday it will make sense.
