Thanks for the link, interesting stuff!
Kudos to them for suggesting something testable.
The chemist in me kicks against the burrowy mathsiness of some of this stuff. It's kind of hinted at at the end of the article. There's some nice, tidy, ideas to this dark dimension thing, and it's not wholly theoretical (in that it can be disproved) but the pointers towards it are a bit tenuous.
It'll be interesting to see if they can make any progress in the next decade or two. At the moment it all feels a bit academic (with the added slant that if some of this is so oooo hard to detect, the chances of doing anything practical with what we learn when we do find out becomes slight to non existent.
Maybe.
As Sabine argues, are we just getting seduced by the beautiful maths (when the experimental evidence doesn't point that way)
