27% of the universe solved? Fifth dimension may explain dark matter’s secrets
Produced by: Manoj Kumar
Fifth dimension
A novel theory suggests the existence of a fifth dimension, potentially unlocking the secrets of dark matter.
Dark fermions
A particle called a fermion may act as a “portal” between dimensions, linking dark matter to the fifth dimension.
Cosmic glue
Fermions might explain why galaxies hold together, shedding light on the mysterious effects of dark matter.
Physics expansion
The fifth dimension builds on early 20th-century ideas to unify forces like gravity and electromagnetism.
Quantum bridge
This dimension offers insights into black holes, the early universe, and particle behavior at quantum scales.
Detection hurdle
Proving the fifth dimension’s existence is difficult due to current technological limitations in detecting fermions.
Collider potential
The Large Hadron Collider and similar tools could provide indirect evidence of this extra dimension.
Gravitational waves
Advanced detectors may one day confirm fermionic dark matter in a warped fifth dimension.
Cosmic paradigm
If proven, this theory could redefine how we understand time, space, and the forces shaping the universe.
