No one knows exactly what is going on at the Plank scale, That is partly what the guy says in the article.
“People trying to tie reality together don’t have any data, just a lot of beautiful math,” said Hogan. “The hope is that this gives them something to work with.”
Theories vary widely on what happens to the universe at that scale. This kind of experimental data might be the thing that transforms string theory from "Not even wrong" to actually wrong, or maybe even partly right.

The universe is a construct of our imagination. Individual consciousnesses are incomplete holograms of the original universe. In fact, it seems to me that interactions between humans (piecing together of the universe) are an effect, not cause of the interactions on a lower level.
