THE EQUIVALENCE PRINCIPLE AS A PROBE FOR HIGHER DIMENSIONS

    https://doi.org/10.1142/S0218271805007991Cited by:3 (Source: Crossref)

    Higher-dimensional theories of the kind which may unify gravitation with particle physics can lead to significant modifications of general relativity. In five dimensions, the vacuum becomes non-standard, and the Weak Equivalence Principle becomes a geometrical symmetry which can be broken, perhaps at a level detectable by new tests in space.

    This essay received an "honorable mention" in the 2005 Essay Competition of the Gravity Research Foundation.
