    I got a lot of questions last week about an article in Quanta Magazine about Dark Dimensions. it's about an idea motivated by string theory that combines large extra dimensions with dark matter. I had a look at the paper.The paper is here: https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.05318The article in quanta magazine is here: https://www.quantamagazine.org/...String theory nonsense makes comeback | 8:12Sabine Hossenfelder | 1.13M subscribers | 147,734 views | February 7, 2024

    Random twists of place: How quiet is quantum space-time at the Planck scale?February 12, 2021 | Craig Hogan Fermilab scientists have been conducting experiments to look for quantum fluctuations of space and time at the smallest scale imaginable according to known physics. At this limit, the Planck length, our classical notions of space and time break down.Imagine the ratio of the size of the universe compared to a speck of dust. That’s about how big the speck of dust is compared to the Planck length, 10-33 centimeters. The Planck time is how long it takes light to travel that distance.Quantum...
