Our new ideas say nature has only one mass scale—the scale of the weak interactions. From this flows the idea that gravity is weak because the particle mediating the gravitational force, the graviton, lives far away from us in new extra spatial dimensions. The relative strength of the forces was formerly understood in terms of separation in energy space, but what we are now saying is the extreme weakness of gravity follows from its separation in new positional space having real extra dimensions.

All this talk about polyatomic molecules, and if one had looked at it, in the way described, would one of answered any differently?
