    "abstract": "According to modern quantum physics, at the microlevel, the dimension of\nspace-time is at least 11; we only observe 4 dimensions because the others are\ncompactified: the size along each of the other dimensions is much smaller than\nthe macroscale. There is no universally accepted explanation of why exactly 4\ndimensions remain at the microscopic level. A natural suggestion is: maybe\nthere is no fundamental reason why exactly 4 dimensions should remain, maybe\nwhen we go to even larger scales, some of the 4 dimensions will be compactified\nas well? In this paper, we explore the consequences of the compactification\nsuggestion, and we show that -- on the qualitative level -- these consequences\nhave actually been already observed: as superclusters and as evidence that is\nusually interpreted as justifying dark matter. Thus, we get a new possible\nexplanation of both superclusters and dark matter evidence -- via dimension\ncompactification.",
