Three decades of effort have been expended on string theory, which includes gravity but at the expense of having the universe inelegantly sprout hidden dimensions.
而那个花了三十多年努力的“弦理论”，虽然把引力拉扯进来了，代价是让宇宙加几个不知哪冒出来的维度。

So if OPERA's results hold up, they could provide support for the existence of sterile neutrinos, extra dimensions and perhaps string theory.
因此，如果OPERA的实验结果站得住脚，它们就可以支持惰性中微子、额外维度、也许还有弦理论的存在。

Some string theorists think the extra dimensionsof space-time, which are predicted in string theory, may take this shape.
