contents <p>This preprint proposes that black-hole formation in stellar core collapse is not solely a classical gravitational process but the first known astrophysical mechanism capable of triggering a transition into a higher-dimensional bulk. The top quark, whose Compton wavelength lies close to the experimentally allowed size of an extra spatial dimension, is produced abundantly during the final ∼0.5 seconds of every successful core-collapse event.</p> <p>The paper argues that the transient top-quark energy density can exceed the higher-dimensional nucleation threshold, allowing the collapsing stellar core to form a locally nucleated five-dimensional bulk region. In this interpretation, the event horizon marks the interface between the observable (3+1)-dimensional brane and a permanently higher-dimensional interior.</p> <p>The framework is quantitatively consistent with dimensional-dependence results from higher-dimensional collapse studies, recent AdS5-brane cosmology models, and collider bounds on extra dimensions. The mechanism provides falsifiable signatures, including potential gravitational-wave ringdown echoes and supernova neutrino deviations.</p> <p>This work positions top-quark–driven core collapse as the first concrete microphysical realisation of “dimensional ascension”: a process in which a macroscopic baryonic object acquires access to an extra spatial dimension by reaching the maximum achievable energy density in 3+1 dimensions.</p>
