The energy spectrum and stability of the effective theory resulting from the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity theory with compactified internal space are investigated. The internal space can evolve in its volume and/or shape, giving rise to a system of scalar fields in the external space-time. The resulting scalar-tensor theory of gravity has physically unacceptable properties. First of all, the scalar fields’ energy is indefinite and unbounded from below, and thereby the gravitational and scalar fields form a self-exciting system. In contradistinction to the case of multidimensional Einstein gravity, this inherent instability of the effective theory cannot be removed by field redefinitions in the process of dimensional reduction (e.g. by a conformal rescaling of the metric in four dimensions, as is done in the former case). To get a viable effective gravity theory one should discard either the geometric scalar fields or the Gauss-Bonnet term from the Lagrangian of the multidimensional theory. It is argued that it is the Gauss-Bonnet term that should be discarded.

The principles underlying the theory of relativity, special and general, are presented. An easy to follow and pedagogical language is used and, based on physical examples, the motivation and some consequences of such principles are discussed. In addition, some roles of these principles when looking for a quantum gravity theory are mentioned
