universal constants

[Pjpic]

Are there any books, written for the layman, which talk about observable effects that might be caused by our 5 (4 + time) dimensional portion of the universe moving through the larger universe. "Universe in a Nutshell" -Hawking, talks about how gravity may transend branes. Are there others?
