[snip] To get the same amount of acceleration seen by astronomers, Greene and Levin calculate that the extra dimensions should have a scale of about 0.01 millimetre. Dark energy would be hiding less than a hair’s breadth away... Eric Adelberger and his team at the University of Washington in Seattle, US, have run a series of experiments using a twisting pendulum to measure the short-range strength of gravity, and they have already ruled out extra dimensions larger than a 0.1 millimetre.
