Apparently Sylvester James Gates Jr. has formulated a variation on string theory that does not require extra spatial dimensions (or temporal dimensions for that matter). He indicated in his lecture at the 2005 Nobel Conference at Gustavus Adolphus College that this model has not received nearly as much attention as, say M-theory, primarily due to the increased mathematical complexity and decrease in "elegance" required to make it consistent in 4 dimensions. I would like to know how such a theory could be experimentally tested, and what observational divergences it would have from conventional string theory. Any thoughts?
