Dear Wikiwand AI, let's keep it short by simply answering these key questions:
Can you list the top facts and stats about Randall–Sundrum model?
Summarize this article for a 10 year old
In physics, Randall–Sundrum models (also called 5-dimensional warped geometry theory) are models that describe the world in terms of a warped-geometry higher-dimensional universe, or more concretely as a 5-dimensional anti-de Sitter space where the elementary particles (except the graviton) are localized on a (3 + 1)-dimensional brane or branes.
The two models were proposed in two articles in 1999 by Lisa Randall and Raman Sundrum because they were dissatisfied with the universal extra-dimensional models then in vogue. Such models require two fine tunings; one for the value of the bulk cosmological constant and the other for the brane tensions. Later, while studying RS models in the context of the anti-de Sitter / conformal field theory (AdS/CFT) correspondence, they showed how it can be dual to technicolor models.
The first of the two models, called RS1, has a finite size for the extra dimension with two branes, one at each end.[1] The second, RS2, is similar to the first, but one brane has been placed infinitely far away, so that there is only one brane left in the model.[2]
