Hello - this is my work. It has been misrepresented and blown out of proportion and I am quite upset about this. The asterisk means that there are many technical if's, and's, or but's of our analysis which are not explained in the news story. It means that our analysis applies to models of extra dimensions where micro-blackholes can be formed with a size less than the curvature of the additional dimensions and where the fundamental particles which make up our universe do not reside in the extra dimensions. These micro-blackholes must also exist at an energy scale which can be probed at the Large Hadron Collider. Under those, very specific, conditions our test holds. These conditions are possible within string theory, but need not be present.
