Dynamics of Charged Events

TL;DR

This paper explores the concept of dynamical events in various dimensions, showing their significance in physical theories like M theory and superconductivity, and highlighting their observable consequences.

Contribution

It introduces the idea of treating events as dynamical entities arising from flux-carrying particles, extending the concept across multiple dimensions and physical contexts.

Findings

Events can be modeled as flux-carrying particles impacting from extra dimensions.

Events have universal observable effects in different physical systems.

The framework applies to membranes in M theory and Josephson junctions.

Abstract

In three spacetime dimensions the worldvolume of a magnetic source is a single point, an event. We make the event dynamical by regarding it as the imprint of a flux-carrying particle impinging from an extra dimension. This can be generalized to higher spacetime dimensions and to extended events. We exhibit universal observable consequences of the existence of events and argue that events are as important as particles or branes. We explain how events arise on the worldvolume of membranes in M theory, and in a Josephson junction in superconductivity.
