Extra dimensions . . . at the recent American Association for the Advancement of Science annual meeting in Denver . . . "It doesn't happen often that you get a confluence of ideas and experiments that come together and it's something that obviously would change your whole way of looking at the universe," said one Joseph Lykken, Professor in Physics at the University of Chicago. . . . "That standard model itself may be our biggest hint that there's this world of extra dimensions," he said. . . . New experiments at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory are producing data that just don't fit the standard model, said Maria Spiropulu an Enrico Fermi Fellow at the University of Chicago. "We have things in the data that leave our mouths hanging," she said . . . Whether extra dimensions or some other phenomenon emerges to clarify these murky data, scientists seem certain that they stand only a few years away from a scientific revolution. 27 March 2003 ---------------------------------------------------------- FURTHER REFERENCES GO - "search perceptions" - in SEARCH-ENGINE file-ID www.perceptions.couk.com/uef/welwel2.txt
