I look forward to reading Hawkins' speculations as they develop. In the end, I expect the best theory to come from the geometric physicists' corner.

After all, physicists tend to look at dark matter (the most likely suspect) through the lens of their own discipline.

No doubt Hawkins will look at black holes up front.

Geometric physicists (Vafa, Randall, etc.) will consider dimensionality (e.g. the theory that gravity is inter-dimensional and dark matter is a region of negative gravity in 4D) up-front.

Particle physicists on the other hand would likely approach the issue with the presumption of four dimensions, e.g. subatomic particles.

Thanks for the post, Alamo Girl. Would you say it is a proper extension of Occham’s Razor to submit that having 4 dimensions is more likely than having 110 dimensions?
