Can we explain dark matter by adding more dimensions to the universe?

By Paul Sutter - Astrophysicist

"We live in an ocean of dark matter, yet we know very little about what it could be," Flip Tanedo, an assistant professor of physics and astronomy at the University of California Riverside, said in a statement.

Every attempt to explain dark matter using known physics has come up short, and so Tanedo and his collaborators are developing exotic models that might better match observations. They asked: What if dark matter interacted with itself through a continuum of forces operating in a space with more dimensions than our usual three? It sounds wild, but their model is able to better explain the behavior of stars in small galaxies than traditional, simple dark matter models. So it's worth a shot.
Paul ... what you really mean is can you explain dark matter by stacking gnomes on top of gnomes ... like Ptolemy and his epicycles.

Just saying …
