Read my #12.
This doesn’t eliminate string theory or I suppose the multiverse.

t appears for now that the universe has the same familiar dimensions—three in space and one of time—even on scales of a hundred million light-years.I am disappointed. I enjoyed the idea that a being that existed in 4 or more dimensions could enter our three dimensional universe and appear to walk thru walls and do other miraculous things.

Logically, there cannot be a multi-verse, or multiple universes.
Universe means "encompassing everything", which means that, even if there were something out there that looks like our universe (as we see and measure it), then, that other instance of a "universe" is nothing more than, part of the "everything", or the real all-encompassing universe.
What we don't see or understand, can make our imaginations run wild, and so, we come up with dramatic new theories to make our minds run wild to further come up with evem bigger imaginings. Our imaginations create huge numbers of theories, but, many or most will remain theories, and not real universal realities.

Read the post. It means the results do not impact spacial dimensions curled up inside the Planck length.

Theory is a toy of the mind only when facts are found then it truth.Thinking is a good thing unless it’s group thinking.

I don’t have a firm understanding either, but simple common sense dictates that 25 dimensions is bunk.

Yes, it is. I wish I understood it better, but it’s above my pay grade.

IIRC, one of the problems of theories about what goes on at such small levels was the difficulty in testing them.
