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 ...

The idea that a hidden fourth dimension could be woven into everyday reality is no longer just a science‑fiction trope. Leading theorists now argue that extra dimensions are not only compatible with ...

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 ...

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 ...

Physicists wonder if our universe contains hidden extra dimensions. These dimensions could explain why gravity is so weak. They might be curled up so tightly we cannot see them. High-energy particles ...

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 ...

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 ...

British physicist Stephen Hawking may claim that extra dimensions provide the key to understanding the "grand design" of the universe, but it's Chinese-American mathematician Shing-Tung Yau who ...
