Rotational Dimensional Reduction (1812.11379v1)
Published 29 Dec 2018 in gr-qc
Abstract: Rotational energy dissipation in the solar system confines the planets to the ecliptic, this can be thought of as a dimensional reduction from three dimensions to two. It is argued that the same mechanism restricts five dimensional matter to four dimensional spacetime. The result is sensitive to geometric configuration but not to force law. Although the mechanism provides a qualitative description it as yet makes no quantitative prediction.
