    In case someone thinks I’m saying something crazy imagine a universe that is an infinite straw. When you zoom a lot in the surface you see two flat dimensions, so gravity would propagate at one over the distance. When you zoom out you stop seeing the dimension that loops over itself and only see one, so gravity gets constant at that scale.

    You could get the same with a lot more complex manifolds, that look like 3+1 dimensions at some scales.
