Theory of Disappearing Dimensions

The theory of disappearing measurements is a theory in elementary particle physics , according to which systems with high energy have lower dimensions .

For example, according to the theory of disappearing measurements, the dimension of the Universe after the big bang was equal to two - one temporal and one spatial axis - but it cools down and the dimension grows ^[1] . When the dimension was equal to two, there were no gravitational degrees of freedom ^[2] . The theory of disappearing measurements also indicates a smaller dimension of smaller systems: then the expansion of the Universe explains the growth of its dimension with time ^{[3] [4]} .

In 2011, Dejan Stojkovic from the University of New York at Buffalo and Jonas Mureika from the Los Angeles University of Loyola Marymount proposed the use of LISA - a space antenna that uses the principle of a laser interferometer - to test the theory of disappearing measurements ^[5] . This device is designed to detect gravitational waves, and the researchers proposed to experimentally verify the existence of a frequency above which there are no gravitational waves ^{[6] [7]} .

The theory of disappearing measurements can also explain the problem of the cosmological constant : the existence of a fifth dimension would answer the question of how energy is distributed to maintain this constant ^{[2] [4]} .
