Mass as the Fifth Dimension of the Universe

Abstract

Newton considered three-dimensional universe endowed with flat space Euclidean geometry, and treated the time as an outside parameter and established his dynamics of the universe. Einstein along with space, considered time, and generated a four - dimensional universe endowed with non-Euclidean curved space-time geometry with time as its fourth dimension, and set up his field equations. Schwarzschild solved Einstein’s field equations around a star in space , which is, otherwise, flat, and obtained a solution. We, along with space and time, consider ed mass which also include d energy according to Einstein’s mass-energy equivalence relation: E = mc 2 , and generate d a five-dimensional universe with the mass as its fifth dimension, and solved the Einstein’s field equations, in some simple cases, and obtained solutions around a star in space , which is otherwise, flat.
