How can an extra dimension create gravity?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the concept of how extra dimensions might relate to the phenomenon of gravity. Participants explore various hypotheses regarding the interaction of matter, gravity, and higher-dimensional spaces, touching on theoretical implications and particle interactions.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant questions how an extra dimension could create gravity, suggesting that matter might move into another dimension near massive particles or "gravitons," distorting spacetime and attracting objects.
  • Another participant proposes that gravity might be a stronger force than previously thought, theorizing that it can affect and enter higher-dimensional spaces through gravitons, unlike the other fundamental forces.
  • A third participant recalls reading that gravity is considered a strong force in the context of extra dimensions, aligning with the previous claims about gravity's strength.
  • One participant expresses uncertainty, indicating a lack of confidence in their understanding of the topic.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express varying levels of uncertainty and differing interpretations of the relationship between gravity and extra dimensions. No consensus is reached on the specifics of how these concepts interrelate.

Contextual Notes

Participants' claims rely on theoretical concepts that may not be fully defined or universally accepted, and there are unresolved assumptions about the nature of dimensions and forces.

I don't know much about physics as you will come to know after reading this. Could some one exsplain to me how an extra dimension can creat gravity?
Is it that matter moves into another dimension when it's avablabe (near mass particles or "gravitons")and distorts time-space and pulls most anything extisting on time-space towards it, kinda like a black hole containg a great deal of matter but condenced in a small area.
Or dose it have something to do with the particle interaction of gravitons moving between dimension.
Or am i inferring everythign incorrectly?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Hey Hey! Not so sure about this subject myself but what i think goes on is that physicists think that Gravity is a stronger force then we thought. As you know, we live in a 4D universe, and basically, some scientists think there could be other parallel universes in which there are more dimensions. What they believe is that gravity has the ability to affect and enter higher dimensional space via the theoretical 'graviton'. I am not sure if i have explained much but...Lets say that gravity could be classed as a relatively strong force because it can enter higher dimensional space whereas the other 3 forces are confined to our 4 dimensional world. There are probably the other 3 forces in higher dimensions but they cannot enter or alter our dimension.

If I've helped then but if not, !
 
i think i rember reading somewhere that in extra dimensions that could exist in this universe gravity is a very strong force like you siad.
 
I think!
