Interesting references. It reminded me of something I recalled from one of my EM classes many years ago where the professor injected that adding a 5th Dimension allowed for the unification of EM and Gravity and the basis for a theory of everything. Later learning that it was Kaluza-Klien theory and it's been around since the early 1900s. So as a quick background, a wikipedia reference may help. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaluz-Klein_theory.
Recently there was a proposal that the dark matter problem could be solved by the introduction of a 5th dimension, and there have been other cosmological hints of a 5th dimension and an elegant model of black-holes can be built in 5 dimensions. So maybe there is something to the addition of a higher dimension when dealing with EM.
