Is it actually possible to interpret gravitation as space's property in a pure classical way. Then, we note that extended self-gravitating system equilibrium depends directly on the number of dimension of the space in which it evolves.…

According to the classical theory of elasticity, a plate subjected to a bending moment always deflects with symmetric tensile and compressive strains in its two sides, without overall deformation perpendicular to the bending moment. Here,…
