Observational limits on the time evolution of extra spatial dimensions.

نویسنده

Barrow

چکیده

Limits are imposed upon the possible rate of change of extra spatial dimensions in Kaluza-Klein and superstring theories by considering the consequences of such changes for primordial nucleosynthesis and the positioning of nuclear resonance levels in samarium, carbon, and oxygen. Previous limits from nucleosynthesis had not included strong-interaction effects. The strongest limits constrain the present rate of change of the mean radius of any additional spatial dimensions to be less than about 10 ' yr

Stellar Evolution and Large Extra Dimensions

We discuss in detail the information on large extra dimensions which can be derived in the framework of stellar evolution theory and observation. The main effect of large extra dimensions arises from the production of the Kaluza-Klein (KK) excitations of the graviton. The KK-graviton and matter interactions are of gravitational strength, so the KK states never become thermalized and always free...

Implications for cognitive quantum computation and decoherence limits in the presence of large extra dimensions

An interdisciplinary physical theory of emergent consciousness has previously been proposed, stemming from quantum computation-like behavior between 10 or more entangled molecular qubit states (microtubulin). This model relies on the Penrose-Diósi gravity-driven wavefunction collapse framework, and thus is subject to any secondary classical and quantum gravity effects. Specifically, if large ex...

8 v 1 3 A ug 2 00 1 Searches for Extra Dimensions at LEP

Extra spatial dimensions are proposed by recent theories that postulate the fundamental gravitational scale to be of the same order as the electroweak scale. Different final states and search strategies are used by LEP collaborations to search for the signs of extra spatial dimensions. A brief review of the search strategies and results from all four LEP experiments, ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL,...
