Dimensional transition of the universe
Abstract
In the extended n-dimensional Einstein theory of gravitation, where the spacetime dimension can be taken as a dynamical variable which is determined by the Hamilton principle of minimizing the extended Einstein-Hilbert action, it is suggested that the Universe of four-dimensional spacetime may encounter an astonishing dimensional transition into a new universe of three-dimensional or higher-than-four-dimensional spacetime.
