Nonstandard Analysis Applied to Special and General Relativity - The Theory of Infinitesimal Light-Clocks

General Mathematics 2014-02-17 v9

Abstract

Nonstandard analysis and electromagnetic propagation properties are used to derive all of the fundamental results for the Special Theory of Relativity. Infinitesimal modeling via infinitesimal light-clocks is used to derive two general line-elements (metrics) without the use of Riemannian geometry. By substituting potential velocities, the Schwarzschild, quasi and modified Schwarzschild, de Sitter, Robertson-Walker and similar line-elements are derived. New black hole and quasi-white hole investigations are presented. A new fixed method using separating operators is used to obtain the major predictions for the relativistic alterations in natural-system behavior. The major conclusion is that all such changes are related to electromagnetic properties and that Riemannian geometry is but an analogue model for natural-system behavior.
