Vanishing Dimensions and Planar Events at the LHC

Understand

We propose that the effective dimensionality of the space we live in depends on the length scale we are probing.

• As the length scale increases, new dimensions open up.
• At short scales the space is lower dimensional; at the intermediate scales the space is three-dimensional; and at large scales, the space is effectively higher dimensional.
• This setup allows for some fundamental problems in cosmology, gravity, and particle physics to be attacked from a new perspective.
