Modern
Kaluza-Klein Theory
The
Modern Kaluza-Klein Theory
unifies Maxwell's Theory of Electromagnetic and
Einstein's Theory of General Relativity & Gravity. The theory provides
the scientific and technical basis for modeling galaxies, solar systems, and spacecraft for
traveling to the stars.
- In 1919, Theodor Kaluza
unified Maxwell's Electromagnetism and
Einstein's Theory of General Relativity & Gravity by adding a fifth dimension. The idea
came from Hermann Minkowski
who had successfully used the fourth dimension to solve the "space-time
continuum." In 1921, Kaluza
published his theory,
with Albert Einstein's encouragement.
Kaluza's Theory became the framework for Einstein's
Theory on General Relativity.
- In 1926, Oskar Klein
applied Kaluza's Theory to quantum theory, which is used in modern string theory. Over the past
seventy years, scientists have
had a difficulty correlating the Kaluza-Klein Theory to physical
reality. They have
modified the assumptions, evaluated
compactified, and used extra
dimensions. The String & Super String Theories, which have
resulted, do not giving acceptable solutions to the physical world.
- In 1998, Overduin & Wesson
successfully demonstrated that the fifth dimension would solve the Space-Time-Matter
Continuum by
eliminated the cylindrical assumption from Kaluza-Klein Theory. In Wesson's book,
"Space-Time-Matter,
Modern Kaluza-Klein Theory," there are numerous examples that correlate
Modern Kaluza-Klein Theory to the
physical reality including general relativity and elementary particle physics.
People will be
able to visualize
the possible solutions of the "Space-Time-Matter Continuum" that would
enable them to travel to the stars within this century.
