Answer:

Order of 10^(-35) m.

Step-by-step explanation:

The string theory is a theoretical concept whereby the very small particles of particle physics are replaced by one dimensional objects which are called strings. This theory is also applicable to black hole physics, nuclear physics, cosmology, etc.

Now, according to string theory, six space-time dimensions cannot be measured except as quantum numbers of internal particle properties because they are curled up in size of the order of 10^(-35) m.

This is because the length of the scale is assumed to be on the order of the Planck length, or 10^(−35) meters which is the scale at which the effects of quantum gravity are usually believed to become very significant.
