Researchers attempting to solve the problem of dark matter have proposed a particle that can travel to an unseen fifth dimension. The work is entirely hypothetical, as it attempts to explain a type of ...

Physicists know that something unseen is sculpting the cosmos, outweighing ordinary matter by roughly a factor of five, yet every detector built so far has come up empty. One of the most audacious ...

A team of German and Spanish scientists says they’ve found a “natural explanation” for dark matter and other unresolved scientific mysteries — but their work depends on the existence of a new ...

SEATTLE - The cosmos would make perfect sense … if it turns out we're living in a 10- or 11-dimensional realm where gravity is bubbling off a different plane entirely. At least that's what's emerging ...

Theoretical physicists of the PRISMA+ Cluster of Excellence at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz are working on a theory that goes beyond the Standard Model of particle physics and can answer ...

When Dr. Alex Murry (a bearded Chris Pine) tries to explain a new theory of dimensional physics that would undo hundreds of years of accepted science in A Wrinkle in Time and allow for interstellar ...

Imagine a world where you can only move forwards and backwards along a line. You’d see nothing but single points in front of you, and nothing but single points behind you—a one-dimensional world. Now ...

We live in a 3D world. This means we have three dimensions: height, width, and depth. But what if we can access the fourth and fifth dimensions? If we lived in a 1D or 2D world, we would see ...
