According to Randall the new Large Hadron Collider at CERN by be able to test some braneworld models.

It is fantastic and interesting but sometimes I wonder if it's all crap. The notion that someone can take a piece of chalk to a board and prove the existance of another dimention is just a bit much to swallow. I think that guy and a few of his buds have figured a way to milk the government, who knows zip about life, the universe or anything into believing that they do know something, and need more money to keep writing on chalkboards.
