Quote:In a scenario that contains a large number of extra dimensions but confines the fundamental forces other than gravity on a 3-brane, only the strength of gravity is diluted by the other dimensions. In this case, the weakness of gravity could literally be due to the large unobserved volume in extra spacetime dimensions.

I saw a program sometime ago on TV that talked about some quarks reportedly going missing in the Large Hadron Collider. They reckon that they could have been jumping to another dimension and this is possibly what gravity somehow does as you have said.
