I believe the anti-desitter space here is used a mathematical tool for helping solve cft problems, not as a representation of reality. However, since the ads is one dimension higher, one thought experiment is that our 4d de-sitter space is a 4d brane(membrane) existing within a 5d anti-de-sitter space. But this is mostly just a thought experiment

“With this new policy, we have heard from multiple companies and multiple academic centers, and we expect to have a substantial increase in the number of tests this week, next week, and throughout the month,” Dr. Hahn said in a press briefing Monday. “There will be — the estimates we’re getting from industry right now, by the end of this week, close to a million tests will be able to be performed.”
They are apparently nowhere close.
