    Hi
    I dont know enough even to be dangerous but IIRC there is some new
    experimental evidence that says there are no other dimensions and Einstein
    was correct after all. I think I saw a synopsis of it in a relatively new
    Discovery mag.

    Amelia, did you see "Elegant Universe" on either "History" or "Discovery"
    channel a couple of weeks ago??

    I dont remember but there are probably some good credits at the beginning
    or the end that you could go find.
