Scientists Have Proposed a New Particle That Is a Portal to a 5th Dimension

[ornotna]

The path to dark matter and other fundamental enigmas may be through a warped extra dimension, according to a new study that proposes a new theory of the universe.

Scientists want to search for a hypothetical particle that can act as a portal to a warped fifth dimension that mediates the cosmic realms of light and dark.

You would be forgiven for assuming that sentence is a science fiction synopsis, but it is actually the mind-boggling upshot of a recent study that seeks to illuminate some of the most persistent enigmas in science.

The existence of this speculative particle could “provide a natural explanation” for the abundance of dark matter, an unidentified substance that accounts for most of the universe’s mass, and resolve intractable problems about subatomic particles known as fermions, according to the new research, which was published last month in The European Physical Journal C.

1. I'm inclined to toss this one out via Occam's razor.

2. Physics makes my head hurt...

But I find this sort of thinking fascinating. There is so much we don't even know that we don't know.

Downside: now I've got the song "Age of Aquarius" stuck in my head.

3. Exactly. This isn't new.

Johnny Rivers discovered the Fifth Dimension in 1966.

6. Sounds like a sloka from the Vedic Upanishads

"...a hypothetical particle that can act as a portal to a warped fifth dimension that mediates the cosmic realms of light and dark."

The essence of 'existence' is never non-existent.

This is whole*
That is whole
Take the whole from the whole
The whole remains

*whole: complete, full, immeasurable, limitless

[Cicada]

7. We always laugh as beliefs of centuries ago, we will be laughed at too

8. I'd vote for that proposal.....

As long as it comes with a guarantee that there are no republiQans in the fifth dimension.....
