  2. Kaluza–Klein theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaluza–Klein_theory

    In physics, Kaluza–Klein theory (KK theory) is a classical unified field theory of gravitation and electromagnetism built around the idea of a fifth dimension beyond the common 4D of space and time and considered an important precursor to string theory. In their setup, the vacuum has the usual 3 dimensions of space and one dimension of time ...

  3. Five-dimensional space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-dimensional_space

    A 2D orthogonal projection of a 5-cube. A five-dimensional space is a space with five dimensions. In mathematics, a sequence of N numbers can represent a location in an N-dimensional space. If interpreted physically, that is one more than the usual three spatial dimensions and the fourth dimension of time used in relativistic physics. [1]

  4. Randall–Sundrum model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randall–Sundrum_model

    In physics, Randall–Sundrum models (also called 5-dimensional warped geometry theory) are models that describe the world in terms of a warped-geometry higher-dimensional universe, or more concretely as a 5-dimensional anti-de Sitter space where the elementary particles (except the graviton) are localized on a (3 + 1)-dimensional brane or branes.

  5. 5-cube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5-cube

    In five-dimensional geometry, a 5-cube is a name for a five-dimensional hypercube with 32 vertices, 80 edges, 80 square faces, 40 cubic cells, and 10 tesseract 4-faces. It is represented by Schläfli symbol {4,3,3,3} or {4,3 3 }, constructed as 3 tesseracts, {4,3,3}, around each cubic ridge .

  6. Brane cosmology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brane_cosmology

    In 1998/99, Merab Gogberashvili published on arXiv a number of articles where he showed that if the Universe is considered as a thin shell (a mathematical synonym for "brane") expanding in 5-dimensional space then there is a possibility to obtain one scale for particle theory corresponding to the 5-dimensional cosmological constant and Universe ...

  7. Superstring theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superstring_theory

    A string theory with more gauge fields such as SU(2) gauge fields would then correspond to the compactification of some higher-dimensional theory above 11 dimensions, which is not thought to be possible to date. Furthermore, the tachyons attached to the D-branes show the instability of those D-branes with respect to the annihilation.

  8. Extra dimensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extra_dimensions

    Warped extra dimensions, such as those proposed by the Randall–Sundrum model (RS), based on warped geometry where the universe is a five-dimensional anti-de Sitter space and the elementary particles except for the graviton are localized on a (3 + 1)-dimensional brane or branes. [3]

  9. Non-relativistic spacetime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-relativistic_spacetime

    In this modification, he added an additional dimension resulting in a 5-dimensional vector theory. Kaluza–Klein theory (1921) was an attempt to unify relativity theory with electromagnetism. Although at first enthusiastically welcomed by physicists such as Einstein, Kaluza–Klein theory was too beset with inconsistencies to be a viable theory.
