Abstract: We live in a world with four observable dimensions (three of space and one of time). Physicists have long proposed extra dimensions as a way of unifying particle physics with gravity. It may now be possible to have an extra dimension of infinite extent (rather than a compact one as previously thought), provided that space–time is curved in a certain way.
