- Does anyone know , why for instance a muon or a tau , can't be considered as Kaluza-Klein tower(s) ?

A Basic Kaluza-Klein tower is a theoretical construct in physics that proposes the existence of extra spatial dimensions beyond the three dimensions of space we are familiar with (length, width, and height). These additional dimensions are compactified, or tightly curled up, at a very small scale, and are thought to be responsible for the fundamental forces of nature.
A Basic Kaluza-Klein tower typically has five dimensions - four dimensions of space and one dimension of time. This is known as 5-dimensional space-time. However, the theory also allows for more dimensions, with the maximum being 11 dimensions.
The Kaluza-Klein tower is significant as it attempts to unify the fundamental forces of nature - gravity, electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force, and the weak nuclear force - into a single framework. It also provides a possible explanation for the hierarchy problem, which is the large difference in scale between gravity and the other forces.
At present, there is no direct experimental evidence for the existence of a Basic Kaluza-Klein tower. However, some predictions of the theory, such as the existence of new particles and interactions, can be tested at high energy colliders like the Large Hadron Collider.
If the Basic Kaluza-Klein theory is proven to be correct, it would have significant implications for our understanding of the universe and could potentially lead to new technologies. It could also provide a more complete and elegant explanation for the fundamental forces of nature.
