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.
 
Thread 'LQG Legend Writes Paper Claiming GR Explains Dark Matter Phenomena'
A new group of investigators are attempting something similar to Deur's work, which seeks to explain dark matter phenomena with general relativity corrections to Newtonian gravity is systems like galaxies. Deur's most similar publication to this one along these lines was: One thing that makes this new paper notable is that the corresponding author is Giorgio Immirzi, the person after whom the somewhat mysterious Immirzi parameter of Loop Quantum Gravity is named. I will be reviewing the...
I seem to notice a buildup of papers like this: Detecting single gravitons with quantum sensing. (OK, old one.) Toward graviton detection via photon-graviton quantum state conversion Is this akin to “we’re soon gonna put string theory to the test”, or are these legit? Mind, I’m not expecting anyone to read the papers and explain them to me, but if one of you educated people already have an opinion I’d like to hear it. If not please ignore me. EDIT: I strongly suspect it’s bunk but...
