Unraveling of the extra dimensions?

I read somewhere that string theory could be disproved if it is found out that the universe expanded at a certain speed as this would cause the extra dimensions to unravel and therefore mean that string theory could not describe our universe. I do not understand why the extra dimensions would unravel? Can anyone help?

Many Thanks,
Jamie

Hi,

do you have a reference so we can know better which model you are referring to ?
 
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...
