An article with a bit more explanation of her theory: Where did all the gravity go?

Good article, once again.

Not too many cranks musing on this thread, unfortunately. That always makes things so much more entertaining.

We usually attract a few who are ready to "prove" that Einstein was a fool. (The expression "Einstein was wrong" gets over 15,000 hits on Google.) Yet they seem strangely unwilling to mix it up with Lisa Randall. But some of us are willing -- even eager -- to tangle with her.

Here are some questions which I hope you don't me asking you fellas: 1.Exactly what sort of new particles are predicted by the Randal-Sundrum theory, and are any of them predicted by any other competing theory? 2.Outside of the accelerators, what sort of astronomical observations could also be used to validate the theory? 3.Now it's heartbreaking for me to even suppose this (it's such a beautiful and elegant theory), but suppose that it turns out that Randall-Sundrum theory is not correct. A null result may not necessarily disprove it, but what sort of result may do so, or at least force us to be more skeptical?
