In a Dark Dimension
Manage episode 446815333 series 3610709
In this Quanta Magazine article written by Steve Nadis, physicists propose a groundbreaking theory known as the dark dimension, which suggests the existence of a large extra dimension, larger than those in string theory. This dimension could house massive gravitons, the particles responsible for gravity, and may explain the mysterious nature of dark matter. The theory also hints at a connection between dark matter and dark energy, potentially solving the puzzle of why gravity is so weak. Ongoing astronomical observations and laboratory experiments aim to test the validity of this dark dimension theory.
