Giorgi Dvali, Nima Arkani-Hamed and Savas Dimopoulos proposed using large extra dimensions to address the hierarchy problem. In the proposal, gravity propagates through the larger spatial volume while low-energy Standard Model fields are confined to an effectively four-dimensional region. The resulting Planck mass from compactification volume relates apparently weak long-distance gravity to the geometry. Changes in short-distance gravitational forces and missing-energy signals provide possible experimental tests of this proposed framework.[ref]

Giorgi Dvali is a theoretical physicist known for his work in the fields of particle physics, cosmology, and string theory. He is particularly prominent for his research on concepts such as extra dimensions, the hierarchy problem, and theories of gravity. One of his notable contributions is the "large extra dimensions" paradigm, which suggests that extra spatial dimensions might exist and could help explain why gravity is weaker than other fundamental forces at macroscopic scales.
