- Description
- Why is space 3-dimensional? After a brief review of the modern approaches to this query, enphasizing those papers which touched upon epistemological problems, it is stressed that there are two questions which deserve special attention. They are: the possibility that the large-scale dimensionality of space has been changing in the course of time; and the actual accuracy of the experimental determinations of the dimensionality of space covering a very large scale from the micro to the macro-cosmos. It is argued in this paper that both Stellar Radiation and the Mössbauer Effect can be used to sketch the answers to these questions.
