In 1919, physicist Theodor Kaluza hypothesized that extra dimensions might solve some outstanding problems in physics. And while we haven't found any evidence yet for anything outside our normal ...

Physicists are quietly testing an audacious idea: that the mass of everything around us might not come from an invisible field, but from the hidden geometry of space itself. Instead of treating extra ...

This is Part 1 of a series on large extra dimensions. I always say that one of the things that separates real science from ...

Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something particles simply possess, a built-in feature explained by the Higgs field but not fully illuminated by it. A new wave of research is now ...

Extra dimensions sound like science fiction, but they could be part of the real world. Extra dimensions sound like science fiction, but they could be part of the real world. And if so, they might help ...

A new theory proposes that the universe’s fundamental forces and particle properties may arise from the geometry of hidden extra dimensions. These dimensions could twist and evolve over time, forming ...

Florida physicist has suggested that two of the biggest mysteries in particle physics and astrophysics — the existence of extra time and space dimensions and the composition of an invisible cosmic ...

Several University of Texas at Austin mathematics faculty, including an incoming assistant professor, have seen their work spotlighted in the science publication Quanta in recent weeks. Distinct in 3D ...

We tend not to dwell on the fact that we exist in three dimensions. Forwards-back, left-right, up-down; these are the axes on which we navigate the world. When we try to imagine something else, it ...

MADISON – When the world’s most powerful particle accelerator starts up later this year, exotic new particles may offer a glimpse of the existence and shapes of extra dimensions. Researchers from the ...
