DESCRIPTION:AbstractLower-dimensionality at higher energies has manifold t
 heoretical advantages as recently pointed out. Moreover\, it appears that 
 experimental evidence may already exists for it - a statistically signific
 ant planar alignment of events with energies higher than TeV has been obse
 rved in some earlier cosmic ray experiments. If this alignment is not a fl
 uke\, then the LHC should be able to see effects associated with the dimen
 sional crossover. Further\, (2+1)-dimensional spacetimes have no gravitati
 onal degrees of freedom\, and gravity waves cannot be produced in that epo
 ch in the early universe. This places a universal maximum frequency at whi
 ch primordial gravity waves can propagate\, which may be accessible to fut
 ure gravitational wave detectors such as LISA. In this talk\, the theoreti
 cal motivation for "vanishing dimensions" as well as generic experimental 
 and observational signature will be discussed.\n\nhttps://events.saifa.rs/
