[23:45:11] <exec> 08└─Gravity is weak but our understanding is weaker. Why does mass/energy warp spacetime? Using what mechanism or process? We don’t know. Let’s remember that General Relativity and Quantum Theory have not been unified; in the former, gravity rules; in the later, it can be safely ignored. It could be...

[23:45:19] <exec> 08└─It doesn't matter to string theory at all. This experiment doesn't disprove the existence of extra dimensions period, it only shows that gravity doesn't leak out of the universe through them. String theory doesn't require that, so it isn't affected.
