Dimensional pressure as a concept generalizes Galileo’s strength of materials scaling. For animals increased in size, weight W scales by exponent 3 while cross- sectional area A scales by exponent 2. The 3/2 ratio of dimensions requires A to increase by 3/2 k when W scales by k, to maintain weight per area, Generalizing, the D dimension experiences pressure of D+1/D.

Does D+1/D or more generally D+x/D for x >1, appear in connection with quantum particles?
