Piąty wymiar rzeczywistości: dlaczego fizycy szukają go w mikroskali?

Does our reality end in three dimensions? The latest discoveries in theoretical physics suggest something far more shocking. Scientists are on the trail of a dark, fifth dimension that may lie mere microns away. If string theory is correct, gravity as we know it is literally "leaking" beyond our world, which would explain its puzzling weakness compared to other forces of nature. In the basement of the University of Washington, an extraordinary experiment worth millions of dollars has been underway for years. Using a pendulum suspended from a tungsten thread thinner than a spider's web, researchers are trying to capture the moment when Newton's law of universal gravitation ceases to apply. Any deviation, even the slightest, from the known rules would be definitive proof of the existence of hidden realms of reality and the beginning of an entirely new physics. This discovery could solve one of the greatest mysteries of the cosmos – the nature of dark matter. Is what we consider invisible mass actually the result of interactions from the fifth dimension? Find out how close we are to the moment of truth, one that could completely shatter our current understanding of the universe and confirm theories that until now seemed like science fiction.
