Universal Length and Validity of Special Relativity
نویسنده
چکیده
We suggest the reexamination of the validity of the Lorentz invariance at the small distance of the order of 10-16 cm in the light of high energy available at CERN and NAL. Using the modified weak interaction Lagrangian with a noncausal form factor we evaluate the muon decay lifetime including the effect of the radiative corrections as a function of the particle energy and characteristic length. A possible link between the universal length and a violation of the Lorentz invariance will be discussed.

Some comments on the universal constant in DSR
Deformed Special Relativity is usually presented as a deformation of Special Relativity accommodating a new universal constant, the Planck mass, while respecting the relativity principle. In order to avoid some fundamental problems (e.g. soccer ball problem), we argue that we should switch point of view and consider instead the Newton constant G as the universal constant.
متن کاملThe Principle of Relativity: From Ungar’s Gyrolanguage for Physics to Weaving Computation in Mathematics
This paper extends the scope of algebraic computation based on a non standard $times$ to the more basic case of a non standard $+$, where standard means associative and commutative. Two physically meaningful examples of a non standard $+$ are provided by the observation of motion in Special Relativity, from either outside (3D) or inside (2D or more), We revisit the ``gyro''-theory ...
متن کاملScrutiny of Einstein’s Causality
In the present paper, the so-called Einstein’s causality is scrutinized and proven to be an illusion, a sort of mathematical fiction, and the causality as a well-established universal principle would be absolutely valid for subluminal, luminal and superluminal signals under any natural and/or artificial circumstances. It is also shown that any attempt to apply special relativity theory to super...
متن کاملNonstandard Derivation for the Special Theory of Relativity *
Using properties of the nonstandard physical world, a new fundamental derivation for all of the effects of the Special Theory of Relativity is given. This fundamental derivation removes all the contradictions and logical errors in the original derivation and leads to the fundamental expressions from which Prokhovnik [7] derives the basic Special Theory transformations. However, it is shown that...
