چکیده
We study a flat spacetime with one compact spatial dimension and dispute the claim of Bansal, Laing, and Sriharan that a local experiment can determine whether or not an inertial observer is “privileged” in this spacetime.

Gravity whose nature is fundamental to the understanding of solar system, galaxies and the structure and evolution of the Universe, is theorized by the assumption of curved spacetime, according to Einstein , s general theory of relativity (EGR). Particles which experience gravity only, move on curved spacetime along straight lines (geodesics). The geodesics are determined by curved-spacetime me...

متن کاملAn Elementary Derivation of the Black-hole Area-entropy Relation in Any Dimension
A straightforward two-line derivation of the Bekenstein-Hawking Area-Entropy relation in any dimension is shown based on Shannon’s information theory and Clifford algebras required by the New Relativity Principle. Recently we have proposed that a New Relativity principle may be operating in Nature which could reveal important clues to find the origins of M theory [1]. We were forced to introduc...
