Interesting, but I still think nk string theory prevails. If
they could find a way to measure gravity bleed into the dimension, it
would be a great first step.

If you don't mind the math, the pre-print is available.

They are looking at a 5th dimensional de Sitter sphere. The
expanding
bubble we're in is 4-dimensional.

Are we in it, or on it?

We're on the 3D spatial surface of a 4D sphere. Time is the radial
axis.

But we must be inside the 4D sphere or else we would have no future.
