Physicists are increasingly entertaining a radical possibility: our familiar universe of three dimensions of space and one of ...

In 1919, physicist Theodor Kaluza hypothesized that extra dimensions might solve some outstanding problems in physics. And while we haven't found any evidence yet for anything outside our normal ...

For more than a century, physicists have suspected that the familiar three dimensions of space might be only a small slice of reality. The idea that the universe could be hiding several additional ...

In an unprecedented step, researchers crafted a detailed model compatible with the universe’s accelerated expansion.

Physicists who work with a concept called string theory envision our universe as an eerie place with at least nine spatial dimensions, six of them hidden from us, perhaps curled up in some way so they ...

Physicists have taken a bold step beyond Einstein's special theory of relativity, proposing an expansion of special relativity that includes observers moving faster than light. This fresh perspective ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Did the early universe have just one spatial dimension? That's the mind-boggling concept at the heart of a theory that University at Buffalo physicist Dejan Stojkovic and colleagues ...

Positive curvature, like that on a sphere, implies a finite universe, while zero curvature, as on a flat plane or negative ...
