Maybe they are? o.O I mean, the cause of their disappearance was never get solved. Maybe one of their invention managed to see the future, and then they saw Alduin coming to Skyrim... and they be like: "F*ck this shit. Let's get out of here." And then they built like a dimension hopping machine or something and pulled a Dr. Who with their whole race?.... I need coffee... xD

I doubt they would be afraid of Alduin at all... They were REALLY strong in the art of technology and they were getting close to surpassing even the Deadra gods (which surpasses their tribunal). I'm rather shocked that the Dunmer were able to even stand five second's worth of a fight against the Dwemer. 

I like the dimension theory but I don't believe that they did it. I think they practically said "Fuck the nine, Fuck the gods, fuck the tribunal and fuck you Azura" and Azura got sick of their shit and wiped them all out. either killing them and trapping their souls in another dimension until necromancers came to revive them.
