When you think of extra dimensions, you probably picture old sci-fi movies with evil beings from higher levels of reality coming to wreak havoc on our 4D world. But what are these higher dimensions in reality? If we live in a world with 4 dimensions of length, height, depth and time, what is the fifth? In this article, we’ll review the history, latest theories, and evidence for the 5th dimension in layman’s terms, and answer your questions about the nature of our 4th-dimensional family and beyond. The fifth dimension is just the beginning!
- In physics, the fifth dimension is a microdimension of space too small to see and has mathematical value in theoretical models of the universe, such as string theory.
- Experiments at the Large Hadron Collider may find indirect evidence of a fifth dimension if scientists can prove that graviton particles are real and disappear into it.
- In information theory, information is considered the fifth dimension, as it shapes our thoughts, behavior, and reality like other dimensions of space and time.
