Why do we require tremendous energy (equivalent to the Planck's energy) to verify String/hyperspace/higherdimension theory?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I have also wondered about this.

I think the 'Introduction to loop quantum gravity' will help. Try dipping into the last page of the first post.The following is speculative:
My explanation is that when the Kaluza metric is used with the GR Lagrangian you get the Plank Mass. Klein then went on to explain that you did not see the 5th dimension as it was so small etc.BUT if you use Kaluza metric with the simple Lagrangian* then the mass is the mass of electron (if you are considering an electron). It all comes down to simple calculations that an undergraduate student could do.

The details are spelled out in
Physics help & Math help - Physics forums > Physics > Special & General Relativity (Simple Kaluza Klein question)
https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=171945

where I have shown that

u^5 = d_{\tau}x^5 = (1 - A_{\alpha} u^{\alpha}q/m)

So x^5 \approx \tau.

No one has said this explanation is on the right or wrong track yet - but this may be due to submitting my question in the wrong forum.* Lagrangian adapted from the super Hamiltonian, e.g. p 489 in Gravitation by Misner Thorne & Wheeler of 1970-1973 where charge q = -e or p 897 where charge q = +e!

The states of interest only existed in the very early universe. The physics that emerged beyond the first ~.001 second are well understood thanks to particle accelerators and observations of the universe at large.
 
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...
