Experimental test for 5th dimension in Kaluza-Klein gravity

TL;DR

This paper reviews dyon solutions in 5D Kaluza-Klein gravity and explores their potential as quantum virtual wormholes that could be experimentally detectable through external electromagnetic fields.

Contribution

It introduces the idea that dyon solutions can transition from quantum to classical states under external fields, suggesting a method to detect higher dimensions.

Findings

Dyons can act as quantum virtual wormholes.

External fields may inflate these solutions to classical states.

Potential experimental signals for higher dimensions are proposed.

Abstract

Several electric/magnetic charged solutions (dyons) to 5D Kaluza-Klein gravity on the principal bundle are reviewed. Here we examine the possibility that these solutions can act as quantum virtual wormholes in spacetime foam models. By applying a sufficently large, external electric and/or magnetic field it may be possible to ``inflate'' these solutions from a quantum to a classical state. This effect could lead to a possible experimental signal for higher dimensions in multidimensional gravity.
