Dark Matter May Be Naturally Tuned to a Hidden Fifth Dimension

Dark matter appears to hold galaxies together, yet it has never shown itself directly. A new theory suggests the missing substance may owe its elusive behavior to the geometry of a hidden fifth dimension. The framework, developed at the University of Sheffield and published in Physical Review D, connects two major ideas in fundamental physics: dark matter and extra dimensions. It proposes that dark matter particles and force-carrying dark photon…

Why might this work? Scientists have proposed a new explanation for one of the Universe's greatest mysteries—the nature of dark matter. The study suggests that its particles may be hidden in the fifth dimension. This was reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing the scientists' work published in Physical Review D. The Power of Resonance and "Tame" Research Scientists have previously attempted to explain the nature of dark matter using the theory of extra …

The mysterious substance that unites galaxies could be "in tune" with a hidden fifth dimension, according to a new study. Research aims to shed light on one of the greatest enigmas of science: dark matter.

The existence of dark matter is considered to be one of the best indirectly proven hypotheses of modern physics. Dark matter could not be observed directly so far, because it does not emit, reflect or absorb light. A new model now postulates that it could be found in a hidden extra dimension together with force-transmitting particles (dark photons) and is therefore so difficult to detect. Sheffield (England). According to today's standard model,…
