Abstract
We recall the motivation for an external scalar field, [Formula: see text], and show how it helps to improve the 5D Kaluza-Klein theory. Various applications of the theory that fit observational or experimental data in the laboratory as well as in the cosmological or astrophysical contexts are mentioned. Special attention is given to the last version of the experiment showing evidence of a torque on a torsion pendulum as predicted by the theory. New arguments that motivate extradimensions are put forward.
