Physicists are quietly testing wild new theories that treat a hidden fifth dimension as more than science fiction, suggesting ...

Physicists are increasingly entertaining a radical possibility: our familiar universe of three dimensions of space and one of time might be only part of a larger structure, with a hidden fifth ...

Scientists have theorised something about a concept called the fifth dimension. Imagine living in a world where reality extends beyond our senses of sight and touch. Scientists have long conjectured ...

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 ...

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 ...

Dark matter could be the result of fermions pushed into a warped fifth dimension. This theory builds on an idea first stated in 1999, but is unique in its findings. Dark matter makes up 75 percent of ...

Theoretical physicists are working on a theory that goes beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. The central element is an extra dimension in spacetime. Until now, the scientists have faced the ...

Up to now, humans have only been able to observe four dimensions in the universe – height, length, width and time. But beyond these dimensions, collectively known as 'spacetime', there may be more ...
