The Randall-Sundrum 1 braneworld scenario is a model proposed in 1999 that models our universe as a surface embedded within a higher dimensional space known as the bulk. The model provides a solution to the hierarchy problem, a long-standing question in physics that asks, why is the force of gravity so weak when compared to the other fundamental forces? In our paper, we propose a variation of the RS1 model with a "bimetric" gravity framework. This is a model of a universe that has two "gravitons", one massive and one massless, mediating the force of gravity that also has potential implications for the cosmological constant problem.
