In a new study in The European Physical Journal C scientists are proposing the there exists a particle that can act as a portal to a fifth dimension. What exactly is the 5th dimension? Good question. Let’s start with what we know now about dimensions. To scientists there has been four known dimensions in our universe. Three that make up space (up and down, left and right, back and forth) this gives you “3D,” and a fourth dimension of time.
To understand the 5th dimension, we have to begin looking into dark
matter, which is what scientists believe make up most of the mass in our
universe. Dark matter happens to be something we don’t know too much
about as well. We technically can’t see it, and so scientists measure
what effects its mass has on other observable matter. In the most recent
study the authors – Adrian Carmona, Javier Castellano Ruiz, Matthias
Neubert – said their original intention was to “explain the possible
origin of fermion (particle) masses in theories with a warped extra
dimension”. They sketched out a new scalar associated with the fermion,
which they claim is similar to the Higgs field and Higgs boson particle....<<<Read The Full Article Here>>>...
