Seeing the Fifth Dimension Through Dark Matter

Could a fifth dimension of nature may be glimpsed through interactions with dark matter?

A theory of dark matter that goes beyond the Standard Model of physics suggests dark matter may be seen through interactions within the fifth dimension.

This idea could allow physicists to test fascinating ideas, potentially explaining much about the very nature of spacetime.

We typically think of coordinates of space using three spatial and one temporal (time) dimensions. To communicate where to rendezvous for a meeting in a well-ordered city, one would need to communicate the two dimensions of cross streets (6th Street and 4th Ave), as well as the elevation (6th floor), and the time (Thursday at four). in physics, these four dimensions are wrapped together in the concept of spacetime coordinates.

However, many theoretical physicists have suggested that, at extremely small scales, there may be additional dimensions beyond left-and-right, up-and-down, and forward-and-backward. Such a makeup of nature would explain several mysteries, including the masses of particles, or the nature of dark matter.
