Nobody knows how tightly those extra dimensions are curled up, nobody knows
how much smaller than 1mm you have to go before gravity starts to deviate
from the inverse square law, maybe it's near 10-3 meters but maybe it's
nearer to the Planck Length of 1.6*10-34 meters. If you have to get to the
Planck Length or even a million times larger it will probably never be
detected experimentally. And the entire idea might be wrong, there might
not be any extra dimensions at all.
