How does speed effect...?

I was wondering, is there anything in any of the string or loop theories that says how (and indeed if) the extra 6 or so dimensions would be effected by travel close to light speed?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Im not exactly sure but they way the extra dimensions were referred to as 'spatial dimensions' id assume light would follow the same principles as before they would simply have more 'space' at which these rules would apply?

*sorry not light but you meant speed of light travel. basically i don't think you could get anywhere faster.. youd simply have 6 times as many places to go.. but they wouldn't create a bridge in spacetime as far as i understand it.

The impact of speed on extra dimensions in string theories is a highly debated topic within the scientific community. While there is no definitive answer, there are several theories and hypotheses that attempt to explain the potential effects of speed on these extra dimensions.

One theory suggests that as an object approaches the speed of light, its length in the direction of motion decreases due to time dilation. This could potentially cause the extra dimensions to also contract, making them appear smaller or even undetectable to an observer. This would have significant implications for our understanding of the universe and could potentially explain why we have not yet been able to detect these extra dimensions.

Another theory proposes that as an object moves at high speeds, it creates a wake in the fabric of space-time, which could distort the shape and size of the extra dimensions. This could potentially lead to observable effects, such as gravitational anomalies or changes in the behavior of particles.

Furthermore, some string theories suggest that the behavior of particles in these extra dimensions is dependent on their energy levels. As an object's speed increases, its energy also increases, potentially causing changes in the behavior of particles in these dimensions. This could lead to a better understanding of how these dimensions interact with the observable universe and how they could potentially be manipulated.

However, it is important to note that these are all theoretical speculations and have not yet been proven or observed. Further research and experimentation are needed to fully understand the impact of speed on extra dimensions in string theories. Nevertheless, exploring this topic can lead to new insights and advancements in our understanding of the fundamental nature of the universe.
 
this thread is to open up discussion on Gravi-GUT as theories of everything GUT or Grand Unified Theories attempt to unify the 3 forces of weak E&M and strong force, and Gravi-GUT want to add gravity. this peer reviewed paper in a journal on Gravi-GUT Chirality in unified theories of gravity F.

In post #549 here I answered: And then I was surprised by the comment of Tom, asking how the pairing was done. Well, I thought that I had discussed it in some thread in BSM, but after looking at it, it seems that I did only a few sparse remarks here and there. On other hand, people was not liking to interrupt the flow of the thread and I have been either contacted privately or suggested to open a new thread. So here it is. The development can be traced in some draft papers...
