I have been giving this more thought and I have some questions. Initially when I had come up with this experiment I had thought that the energy barrier to the detection of higher dimensions was due to their very small size. (i.e. in order to probe very small dimensions a very short wavelength was required and short wavelength equates to high energy). Then I had heard that experiments were being done with gravity in an attempt to detect extra dimensions of larger size. These experiments were looking for dimensions at the fraction of a millimeter range. So my thought had been that if there was a slight possibilty (very slight) that extra dimensions were on the fraction of a millimeter scale that the energy required would not be that great and some type of molecular size experiment might work. Now for the questions. What is the source of the energy barrier seen for entering extra dimensions? Are the higher dimensions different in some way than other dimensions. I realize that these dimensions are curled up very small, but is there some other fundamental difference to them?
