A mass Hierarchy of magnitude O(1016) GeV separates the gravitational and electroweak interactions. Traditional proposed resolutions of this anomaly have included supersymmetric theories (most notably, the MSSM and ESSM) and string theory. However, energiers at which supersymmetric particles are expected to appear are not accessible to experiment, and string theory is only testable at around Mpl. A novel idea involves introducing extra dimensions into a Minkowski space-time to reduce the effective separation between the gauge and gravitational couplings. Theoretical developments of the so-called Arkani-Dinopolous-Dvali (ADD) extra-dimensional scenario, and its experimental verification, are presented here.
