FRACTAL SPACE-TIME AND MICROPHYSICS Towards a Theory of Scale Relativity

چکیده
Let us now come to our first attempts to define fractals in an intrinsic way and to deal with infinities and with their non-differentiability. We first consider the case of fractal curves drawn in a plane. The von Koch construction may be generalized in the complex plane by first giving ourselves a base (or “generator”) F1 made of p segments of length 1/q. The coordinates of the p points Pj of F1 are given, either in Cartesian or in polar coordinates (see Figs. 3.5 and 3.6) by:

Fractal Space-time Theory and Some Applications in Advanced Materials
Since the last twenty years an increasing interest on the fractal approach on microphysics has been observed [1-9]. The Theory of fractal space-time or the Scale Relativity Theory (SRT) [1] extends Einstein’s principle of relativity to scale transformation of resolution. The introduction of non-differentiable trajectories in physics dates back to the pioneering works of Feynman, who demonstrate...
متن کاملFRACTAL SPACE-TIME AND MICROPHYSICS: Towards a Theory of Scale Relativity L.Nottale
At the end of Section 5.7, we arrived at the conclusion that a Markov-Wiener process plays the fundamental role of a transformation allowing one to go reversibly from classical to quantum and from quantum to classical laws. However the completely deterministic " purely classical " world and the completely undeterministic " purely quantum " world may be viewed as the extremities of a full spectr...
متن کاملScale Relativity, Fractal Space-Time, and Quantum Mechanics
This paper describes the present state of an attempt at understanding the quantum behaviour of microphysics in terms of a nondifferentiable space-time continuum having fractal (i.e., scale-dependent) properties. The fundamental principle upon which we rely is that of scale relativity, which generalizes to scale transformations Einstein’s principle of relativity. After having related the fractal...
متن کاملQuantum–classical transition in scale relativity
The theory of scale relativity provides a new insight into the origin of fundamental laws in physics. Its application to microphysics allows us to recover quantum mechanics as mechanics on a non-differentiable (fractal) spacetime. The Schrödinger and Klein–Gordon equations are demonstrated as geodesic equations in this framework. A development of the intrinsic properties of this theory, using t...
متن کاملThe Cosmic Microwave Background Spectrum and an Upper Limit for Fractal Space Dimensionality
The possibility to constrain fractal space dimensionality from Astrophysics and other areas is briefly reviewed. Using data from FIRAS instrument aboard COBE satellite and assuming space dimensionality to be 3 + ǫ, we calculate ǫ = −(0.957 ± 0.006) × 10 and an absolute temperature 2.726 ± 0.003 × 10 K by fitting the cosmic microwave background radiation spectrum to Planck’s radiation distributi...
