The article talks about how we see the effects though gravity...it mentions that this could explain cold dark matter which by definition can only influence other matter through gravitational effects or by very very rare collisions with other matter
a force is (in newtonian terms) mass*acceleration and acceleration is the rate that speed changes over time so forces don't equate to speed. look at a car that has a 0-60 in 4 secs this means that it is accelerating at a rate of 60 mph/4sec which would mean that it exerts a force of its mass times that acceltation.
I wonder if this new theory was derived from the one about the curvature of space giving rise to dimentions...It seems to me that this could be the reason for the nano-sized dimentions...gravity could be "curling" space into itself creating spacial eddys for matter and light to be trapped

Yes that is the casimir effect...it is created by spontanious particle pairs that exert an attraction on the plates since they create a dipole.
