seen . In my book I tell about ways we might determine if another dimension exists in reality and how it can be hidden .
If we can ’ t see these hidden universes , how can we prove that they exist ?

If they exist , particles can travel in an extra dimension . That would make it look to us like there are particles with interactions like the ones we know but that appear to us as heavy particles . The reason for that is that they carry momentum in another dimension . We don ’ t see that dimension so the momentum appears to us as mass .
I know that you and your colleagues pointed to the Large Hadron Collider with the hope of detecting particles with prints from other dimensions . Have you already found the evidence or are you waiting for the LHC to increase its energy ?

We are waiting for the LHC to increase its energy .
Will it be enough energy ?
M . M .
L . R .
If we are lucky it will be — it ’ s certainly a possibility . But I do fear that the energy might be too low . The Superconducting Supercollider that was proposed in the U . S . and was even started to be built would have had almost three times the energy and would have been a better machine for this purpose .
