Abstract
Although mass scales associated with string tension, compactification of extra dimension, and Newtonian gravity are a priori independent, these scales must be approximately equal to each other in any unified string theory with realistic couplings. Consequently, the compactification cannot be adequately described in terms of ten-dimensional field theory.Keywords
