Given that string theory purports some 10th dimensional ontology, does it refute creation? Or make it unnecessary? I personally do not believe that the Universe is a product of intelligent design, but I'd like to explore the concepts of string theory and its relation to the origin of things(and I plan to go into theoretical physics as well). Thanks.

How does 10 (instead of 4) dimensions affect creation or ontology?
 
Ontology is a philosophical debate and doesn't reflect the nature of this sub-forum.
 
“In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth,
and the Earth was without form, and void;

And the Breath of God
moved upon the face of the water.”

I seem to notice a buildup of papers like this: Detecting single gravitons with quantum sensing. (OK, old one.) Toward graviton detection via photon-graviton quantum state conversion Is this akin to “we’re soon gonna put string theory to the test”, or are these legit? Mind, I’m not expecting anyone to read the papers and explain them to me, but if one of you educated people already have an opinion I’d like to hear it. If not please ignore me. EDIT: I strongly suspect it’s bunk but...
I'm trying to understand the relationship between the Higgs mechanism and the concept of inertia. The Higgs field gives fundamental particles their rest mass, but it doesn't seem to directly explain why a massive object resists acceleration (inertia). My question is: How does the Standard Model account for inertia? Is it simply taken as a given property of mass, or is there a deeper connection to the vacuum structure? Furthermore, how does the Higgs mechanism relate to broader concepts like...
