Why are there 3 spatial dimensions and 1 temporal dimension (that we know of), and not something like 26 dimensions, or infinite dimensions? The Anthropic principle, or something?

We don't necessarily know that there are only 3 dimensions, but we do know that something like DNA could only exist in 3, so carbon-based life will likely always be 3D
