Extra-dimensions and elementary particle — •Christian Ythier — Faculte des Sciences, Universite de Nice, France

There exists a new approach for justifying the role of extra-dimensions in physics. Since any charged particle has a mass, and since any rest-mass is related to a rest-frequency by Einstein's double relation, a connection between charge and the impressive values of the rest- frequencies had to be searched for. An extension of the views of L. de Broglie [1] and R.P. Feynman [2] suggests that the conservation of the charge in a hydrogen atom could result from the existence of a closed loop in a three-dimensional time [3]:indeed, the rest-mass is proportional to a rest-angular-frequency. Since the creation of a neutral lepton requires an additional 3D-space orthogonal to the 3D-time, six extra-dimensions have to be added to the 4D-space-time of special relativity . 1.
