mburns's Journal: Kaluza-Klein Amplification

I actually sat down recently to calculate the dimensions of a Kaluza-Klein charge that emulates the charge and mass of an electron. My calculator was a page of penciled equations plus the Unix command line facility, units. I included in this calculation the effects of the internal polarization that I wrote on earlier this year. In doing so, I realized that the push me pull you polarization of a Kaluza-Klein charge is an amplifier of the background Kaluza-Klein field that the charge is subjected to.

The amplification factor was computed to be 5.8e21; my barista was the first to pronounce the number out loud. The rest mass of the Kaluza-Klein components was computed to be (plus and minus) .12 Planck mass, and their radii .24 Planck length.
