Information AboutCompactification (physics) |
|
In Physics , compactification plays an important part in String Theory . In string theory, compactification refers to "curling up" the extra Dimension s (six in the Superstring Theory ), usually on Calabi-Yau Spaces or on Orbifold s. The mechanism behind this type of compactification is described by the Kaluza-Klein Theory . See also Compact Dimension . The formulation of more precise versions of the meaning of compactification in this context has been promoted by discoveries such as the Mysterious Duality . |
