Exploring New Dimensions: Insights from Deep Inelastic Processes

Recent research by B. B. Levchenko explores the implications of additional dimensions of space and time in the context of deep inelastic processes. The study, titled "Additional dimensions of space and time in the domain of deep inelastic processes," reveals that established uncertainty relations, specifically the Heisenberg and Landau-Peierls relations, contain hidden angular variables that lead to new uncertainty relations.

The research derives a formula to estimate the speed of a virtual particle during indirect measurements. Notably, the findings suggest that the speed of virtual photons, as indicated by data from the HERA experiment, may exceed the speed of light in free space. This observation raises questions about the properties of virtual photons and their similarities to hypothetical tachyon particles.

Furthermore, the study highlights the relationship between new angular parameters and the geometry of phase space, as well as the dimensionality of the space-time continuum. It proposes that the normalization condition of virtual particle speed can be addressed within the framework of "Two-Time Physics," a theory developed by I. Bars. This theory incorporates additional time-like and space-like dimensions, potentially reshaping our understanding of particle interactions and the fundamental structure of space-time.

The implications of these findings could be significant for future research in high-energy physics and our understanding of the universe's fundamental laws. The full paper can be accessed through arXiv with the identifier arXiv:2408.02696.
