Astronomy and the Fifth Dimension

Abstract

Astronomy is a precise and relatively simple science because objects accelerate in a gravitational field at the same rate, irrespective of their composition. Galileo knew this, and Einstein took it as the basis for general relativity. Surprisingly, it is also a consequence of new theories that use a fifth dimension.
