...time. He reasoned that gravity only appears to be weaker than other forces—such as electromagnetism—because it is diluted over more space. If gravity is not weaker than other forces, he said that the effects of string theory could be observed more directly through experimentation, which would put an end to physicists’ studying forces at shorter and shorter distances. “The fundamental theory that unifies gravity with everything else would not take place at ultra short distances but right above our heads,” he said. He added that there...
