A Case for Lorentzian Relativity
The Lorentz transformation (the LT) is explained by changes occurring in the wave characteristics of matter as it changes inertial frame. This explanation is akin to that favoured by Lorentz, but informed by later insights, due primarily to de Broglie, regarding the underlying unity of matter and radiation. To show the nature of these changes, a massive particle is modelled as a standing wave i...
متن کاملA Lorentzian Signature Model for Quantum General Relativity
In [1], we proposed a model for quantized discrete general relativity with a Euclidean signature. The model was constructed by combining the structure of a certain tensor category and of a full subcategory of it with the combinatorics of a triangulated 4-manifold. The category was the representations of Uqso(4), for q a 4n-th root of unity and the subcategory the representations which are calle...
متن کاملLorentzian theories vs. Einsteinian special relativity – a logico-empiricist reconstruction
1. It is widely believed that the principal difference between Einstein’s special relativity and its contemporary rival Lorentz-type theories was that while the Lorentztype theories were also capable of “explaining away” the null result of the Michelson– Morley experiment and other experimental findings by means of the distortions of moving measuring-rods and moving clocks, special relativity r...
متن کاملFrom Euclidean to Lorentzian general relativity: The real way.
We study in this paper a new approach to the problem of relating solutions to the Einstein field equations with Riemannian and Lorentzian signatures. The procedure can be thought of as a “real Wick rotation”. We give a modified action for general relativity, depending on two real parameters, that can be used to control the signature of the solutions to the field equations. We show how this proc...
متن کاملA finiteness proof for the Lorentzian state sum spinfoam model for quantum general relativity
We show that the normalized Lorentzian state sum is finite on any triangulation. It thus provides a candidate for a perturbatively finite quantum theory of general relativity in four dimensions with Lorentzian signature.
