ScienceDaily: Scientists Predict How To Detect A Fourth Dimension Of Space
An interesting article that shows that there are tests that can soon be done to see if the universe we live in is a braneworld.
I wonder if braneworld ideas will ever lead to suggestions of a physical location for heaven on another brane. (Just as the ideas of a 4th dimension lead to some supernatural style speculation in the 19th century.) Of course, if you follow Tipler's Omega Point ideas, you don't need a physical location as such, since it is all in a cyberspace which gets to subjectively last forever at the end of the universe. Cyber heaven also lets it be anything God wants it to be, whereas a physical type of one has still got pesky physical laws to deal with.
Braneworld ideas are presumably not consistant with Omega Point theories.
