Cheers, I don't mind admitting that I had a bit of trouble with that article. I hate to ask, but how does that signal "disprove" string theory?

It was a gravitational signal observed on 17th August 2017 - see GW170817 - Wikipedia .

I don't know. String theory isn't my subject.
What kind of energy did you have in mind?I wonder what they will do when they discover the interface between energy and spirit (I predict the mass suicide of scientists.)
AFAICS it doesn't. It suggests that some fairly popular models, that explain the relative weakness of gravity by its 'leaking' into other spatial dimensions, may be wrong.Cheers, I don't mind admitting that I had a bit of trouble with that article.

If there is a hidden dimension, then the objects in our (x,y,z) world can disappear from our world (due to fluctuations due to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle), and so the energy conservation in our world is violated in the String Theory.The kind that everything is made of.
No, hidden dimensions in string theory are compactified, and objects can't just wander into them. All objects already exist in all the dimensions -- it's just that all but 3+1 are effectively invisible.If there is a hidden dimension, then the objects in our (x,y,z) world can disappear from our world (due to fluctuations due to the Heizenberg uncertainty principle), and so the energy conservation in our world is violated in the String Theory.
If we are so good in Science, why there are so many mysteries there? UFOes, Dark Matter, lack of antimatter in Big Bang? All our Universe with its (-infinity<x,y,z<infinity) coordinates can be put into zero value q=w=e=r=u=...=0 of hidden coordinates. Any escape from zero means, that we see our wife vanishing into Nothing.No, hidden dimensions in string theory are compactified, and objects can't just wander into them.

Quantum field excitations then... sadly for the idea of spirit interaction, there's no room in quantum field theory for novel interactions that would be remotely significant in normal (e.g. human scale) regimes. The interaction landscape of those regimes has been thoroughly explored - there may well be undiscovered forces and/or particles, but their interactions must be either too weak or too short range to be significant at everyday scales, or they would have been detected - and they have not.The kind that everything is made of.
No; that's sciency-sounding nonsense. As Pauli would say, it's "not even wrong".If there is a hidden dimension, then the objects in our (x,y,z) world can disappear from our world (due to fluctuations due to the Heizenberg uncertainty principle), and so the energy conservation in our world is violated in the String Theory.
I know even less about String Theory than I do about raising armadillos. (I know enough to have characterised it as mental masturbation for mathematicians. [That's string theory, not armadillo husbandry]). But I did find this comment online:Ah, ok cheers.
Maybe one of the good people celebrating String Theory's demise up above could explain it to me?
Is he alive, so he could bit me up?Heisenberg. If you are going to misappropriate his theory the least you could do is spell his name correctly.
If is written Voynich Manuscript and the author is dead, so he can not explain. One still can not say, that it is nonsense. Any nonsense must be proven nonsense. Until the opening discovery, it is a mystery.No; that's sciency-sounding nonsense. As Pauli would say, it's "not even wrong".

Of course, you could just dismiss QFT; but throwing out the most successful and best tested theory of all time without an equally effective or better alternative, would put a dent in any effort to claim spirit interaction with, as you so vaguely put it, 'energy'.
