Seems so hopeless. So many dead ends that each can suck up a whole career. But presumably somebody will be famous at the end of it all.

If all dead ends were as thoroughly documented as a scientist's whole career tends to be, we'd have a lot of dead ends less to re-discover again and again.

It’s not hopeless though? If they can devise ways to test for this fourth dimension then even if they find nothing it’s at least one more thing we know isn’t dark matter.
