gravity (a braneworld formulation by Dvali et al. (2000)), and explained cosmologically in work by Deffayet (2001), in the 5-d black hole ! 4-d spacetime white hole
scenario of Pourhasan et al. (2014), in a similar construction by Poplawski (2010)
based on Einstein-Cartan, and in modified and extended versions of DGP including
cascading gravity (de Rham et al. 2008a, b), that begin in still higher dimensions. If
the cosmos originates in a higher-dimensional space, this could mean cosmological
transitions literally or effectively turned the universe inside-out, causing outwardpressing forces to turn inward, and this is likely what happened to gravity—which
explains its weakness compared to the other fundamental forces. This is precisely
what we should expect, moreover, if the familiar properties of associativity and
commutativity emerged as a result of cosmological events and transitions which
allow things that would be free-floating in higher dimensions to congeal in a
dimensionally reduced space. We note that 3-d space allows forms to be created
that are more stable than is possible in higher dimensions, and this underlies both the
process of condensation and its power.
Condensation is therefore observed to be a process where variability becomes
fixity as degrees of freedom possessed by a system or entity become fixed through
phase transitions of various kinds. This means that variability was needed and higher
dimensions might have thus facilitated the emergence of the cosmos as we know
it. Cosmologies featuring a higher-dimensional precursor or bulk (in which our
spacetime is embedded), including those above, are well-respected at this point.
Spaces of higher dimension are dimensionally reduced, while objects and systems
with freedom to vary multiple ways become constrained in various ways instead—
attaining constancy, or stability and predictability. A relevant example is massive
gravitons, which figure into some of the work cited above, because massive spin-2
particles have 5 polarization states (0, Æ1, Æ2) while a massless graviton has only
two (Æ2). Continuation of condensation from higher dimensions beyond 3-d
involves the settling of form and energy onto 2-d surfaces. In another paper by
Dvali and Gomez (2013), it is suggested that quantum mechanical properties of a
black hole can be completely characterized by the portrait of N gravitons condensing
at the horizon. But condensation is also a feature or natural consequence of various
flavors of entropic gravity theory. We see a common element of these theories is a
holographic screen or local Rindler horizon; the action of gravity is calculated
relative to a 2-d surface, where microcausal degrees of freedom go to a large N.
