Randall proposed that the universe has more than four dimensions (three of space and one of time) and that these extra dimensions could be infinitely large...
...While working with Sundrum, Randall stumbled on a possible answer to why gravity is so weak compared to other forces. Gravity may not appear weak to the casual observer.
