I should have added that current versions of string theory require that there be additional spatial dimensions (up to 6 or even 7 more). Since these dimensions haven't been observed, it has been conjectured that they're quite tiny (curled up into up into any of a myriad of possible shapes). The present article discusses the possibility of getting experimental confirmation of these extra dimensions.

Has there been any experimental verification of string theory? What if this is a colossal dead end--what's Plan B?

If gravity is strong - just appears weak because it "falls though the floor" - wouldn't the dimension it's "falling" into have to be large? Or have "in common" type qualities with black holes? Hard to put a lot of something into nothing ...
