Conservation of Optical Chirality in Superconductors as a measure for 5 dimensional Electromagnetism

Abstract

Currently only three spatial and one temporal dimensions are considered to be "physical". Recently, solutions to a plethora of questions have used the notion of extra-dimensions. The experimental verification of the existence of such extra dimensions, however, remains elusive. Here by applying standard electromagnetism to five dimensional Minkowski space-time, we propose a novel test ground to search for a new non-compactified lengthlike extra dimension. in this regard, we propose superconductors as a testbed for this hypothetical new extra dimension.
