This isn't a new article, but I thought it was interesting. :)

"A group of scientists have now come ahead and revealed that they can explain dark matter based on a particle that according to them, links straight to the fifth dimension.

The study, published in the European Physical Journal C suggests that the particle could provide some clarity on the dark matter -- something that has never been directly observed but still accounts for most of the mass of our universe. Basically, what the researchers are saying is that particles can travel across the universe, including a fifth dimension.

This is surprising since scientists have already been confused about the four dimensions that currently exist -- the 3D space (comprising of up, down, left, right, back and forth) as well as time. But the new study has apparently produced 5D equations which show the implications an extra dimension could have on our universe and reality as we see it."

Here's a direct link to the academic paper:


It sounds like it's only theoretical. A lot of things start that way before being experimentally discovered, so who knows.

Having read through a lot of old science books, I think a good place to start looking for "dark energy" or "dark matter" is in the mathematical approximations used in a lot of derivations. Even though a lot of the scientists from ages past were absolutely brilliant, they didn't have practical methods for solving a lot of the differential equations they encountered. They would drop terms from equations that seemed to be small enough to ignore, they would truncate infinite series, and they would simplify things to mathematical forms that they already knew how to solve. Nowadays, we have computers able to numerically solve a lot of equations that so far lack analytical solutions, but if the simulations include the same simplifications as what was derived ages ago, they'll result in the same inaccuracies.
