Gravity, matter, and the fifth dimension

Paul S. Wesson’s *Five-Dimensional Physics* examines how extending the familiar dimensions of space and time can frame questions about gravity and particle physics. It presents the induced-matter and membrane approaches, tracing the subject from Einstein’s relativity to modern ideas about matter and covering both classical and quantum implications. The book also sets out higher-dimensional interpretations of two central puzzles: how a matter-curved universe might be represented in five dimensions, and how quantum uncertainty might relate to deterministic laws in a larger-dimensional framework. Mathematical precision is part of its approach, making the volume a focused exploration of the conceptual and theoretical reach of 5D physics.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in mathematical and computational physics.
  • Readers exploring theories that connect gravity, particle physics, and extra dimensions.
  • Readers curious about conceptual questions surrounding matter, cosmology, and quantum interactions.

Book overview

Extra dimensions -- beyond space and time -- are the best methods for unifying gravity with particle physics. The basic extension is to five dimensions (5D), as in the induced-matter and membrane theory. This descriptive text gives an up-to-date account of the classical and quantum consequences of 5D physics. It includes topics that range from Einstein's original theory of relativity to modern views on matter. The book is mathematically precise and focuses on new ideas which appeal to readers. Examples of new ideas are: The big-bang universe, which is curved by matter in 4D, may be viewed as a smooth and empty world in 5D; the uncertainty of quantum interactions in spacetime may be regarded as the consequence of deterministic laws in higher dimensions. This book will interest people who think about the 'meaning of things'.
