<p>Create biographical page for person listed in The Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists (web-verified; red-link batch 9)</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{Infobox scientist<br /> | name = Eric R. Hedin<br /> | fields = Physics<br /> | workplaces = Ball State University<br /> | known_for = Extra-dimensional confinement of quantum particles<br /> }}<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Eric R. Hedin&#039;&#039;&#039; is a physicist and, at the time of the work cited here, an associate professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Ball State University (Muncie, Indiana). He is listed in &#039;&#039;[[The Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists]]&#039;&#039;.<br /> <br /> ==Work==<br /> Hedin is known for a speculative model titled &quot;Extra-dimensional confinement of quantum particles,&quot; published in &#039;&#039;Physics Essays&#039;&#039; (vol. 25, no. 2, 2012) and later posted to arXiv. In it he proposes that elementary particles have a component of their wave function that extends into higher spatial dimensions, and he extends the Schrödinger equation to include fourth and fifth spatial coordinates. A higher-dimensional harmonic-oscillator confining potential localizes particles within ordinary three-dimensional space, characterizing a &quot;brane tension&quot; that confines Standard Model particles to the observed sub-manifold. He argues that quantum effects allow a small, non-zero probability for a particle&#039;s transient presence in the extra dimensions, suggests an experimental signature involving excitation into a higher-dimensional state, and proposes that such higher-dimensional excited states could offer an alternative account of dark matter. These proposals lie outside the mainstream of accepted physics.<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> * [https://arxiv.org/abs/1605.04249 &quot;Extra-dimensional confinement of quantum particles&quot; (arXiv)]<br /> * [https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Eric-Hedin Eric Hedin (ResearchGate profile)]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Scientist|Hedin Eric]]<br /> [[Category:Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists]]</div>
