[edit] Existence of hidden dimensions

Why would these experiments verify the existence of hidden dimensions? This seems like rather a strong assertion, not to have any support. Joshuardavis 16:55, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

I also was puzzled by the unsupported statement, and refered to the linked New Scientist article. I found many passages to be slight paraphrasings of the article (or vice-versa?), if not outright copies. While I won't make any ethical judgements on using a source like that, but NS seems to have lower standards of reference than Wikipedia. The hidden dimensions mention may not stir anyone in a news blurb, but when it is copied and unexplained, it tarnishes Wikipedia.
