Reintroduction : View from the twenty-first century -- Augmenting a 1983 history of the fourth dimension in culture and art (1900-1950) : X-rays and ether physics as the context for the "fourth ...

Does our universe have more than four dimensions -- four spatial dimensions plus time? According to some American scientists, the answer is yes. Their new theory of gravity is challenging Einstein's ...

THERE is nothing striking or new in this argument, neither is there any thing extravagant in its application. The author expounds in a clear and easy manner the familiar notions of flatland and of a ...

DURHAM, N.C. -- Scientists at Duke and Rutgers universities have developed a mathematical framework they say will enable astronomers to test a new five-dimensional theory of gravity that competes with ...

Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something the universe simply hands to particles, a property encoded in equations rather than explained from first principles. A new proposal argues that ...

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 ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Theoretical physicists believe math shows the possibilities of a fourth dimension, but there’s no actual evidence—yet. Albert Einstein believed space ...
