Description

Explore the evolution of theoretical physics with Extra Dimensions in Space and Time (Multiversal Journeys) by Springer. This text traces the history of spatial dimension theories, starting from Nordstom's 5-dimensional vector theory in 1914. It follows the development of Kaluza-Klein theory in 1921, which sought to unify general relativity and electromagnetism within a 5-dimensional space-time framework consisting of four dimensions for space and one for time. Readers will learn about the historical progression of these concepts, including why Kaluza-Klein theory faced challenges for five decades. The book covers the resurgence of interest driven by the advent of supergravity theory in the late 1970s, which attempts to unify general relativity and supersymmetry. Finally, it examines the impact of string theories and M-theory on our modern understanding of the universe. This book is a valuable resource for those studying the mathematical and theoretical foundations of multidimensional physics.

Key Features

Traces the history of dimensional physics from Nordstom's 1914 5-dimensional vector theory to modern M-theory.

Examines the Kaluza-Klein theory and its efforts to unify general relativity with electromagnetism.

Provides context on the development of supergravity theory and its role in unifying relativity and supersymmetry.

Covers the transition from early 20th-century theories to the string theories that emerged in the 1980s.

Explains the concept of 5-dimensional space-time involving four dimensions for space and one for time.
