We present a new physical model that links the maximum speed of light with the minimal Planck scale into a maximal-acceleration Relativity principle in the spacetime tangent bundle and in phase spaces (cotangent bundle). Crucial in order to…
A generalization of the classical electrodynamics for systems in absolute motion is presented using a possible alternative to the Lorentz transformation. The main hypothesis assumed in this work are: a) The inertial transformations relate…
We begin by admitting the following: (i) there is a frame of reference where the speed of light is the same in any direction (that speed is c) (ii) the average speed of light on a two-way journey is c in every frame of reference. From this…
We consider Double Quintessence models for which the Dark Energy sector consists of two coupled scalar fields. We study in particular the possibility to have a transient acceleration in these models. In both Double Quintessence models…
A model detector undergoing constant, infinite-duration acceleration converges to an equilibrium state described by the Hawking-Unruh temperature $T_a=(a/2\pi)(\hbar/c)$. To relate this prediction to experimental observables, a point-like…
We determine transformations between coordinate systems which are mutually in linear accelerated motion. In case of the symmetrical linear mutual acceleration, we immediately get the maximal acceleration limit which was derived by…
We consider a free massive particle inside a box which is dragged by Rindler observers. Admitting that the particle obeys the Klein-Gordon equation, we find the frequencies of the stationary states of this system. Transitions between the…
We consider the acceleration of charged particles near ultra-relativistic shocks, with Lorentz factor Gamma_s >> 1. We present simulations of the acceleration process and compare these with results from semi-analytical calculations. We show…
In special relativity, testing for spatial anisotropy usually means testing for anisotropic propagation of light. This paper explores a different possibility, in which light is still assumed to propagate isotropically in all frames with an…
We give a rigorous derivation of the general-relativistic formula for the two-way Doppler tracking of a spacecraft in Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker and in McVittie spacetimes. The leading order corrections of the so-determined…
Just as the ordinary Doppler effect serves as a tool to measure radial velocities of celestial objects, so can the relativistic Doppler effect be implemented to measure a combination of radial and transverse velocities by using recent…
We consider the general form of the linear transformation for point rotation coordinate frames. The frames have the rotation axis at every point. In the transformation the frequency of one frame relative to another is not equivalent to the…
Neutrino speed experiments could be viewed not only as tests of Lorentz invariance but also as measurements of limiting propagation speed for all standard model species below certain depth where no direct metrological information is…
The equation of the Doppler shift of two bodies in inertial motion in a reference frame at rest (i.e., stationary reference frame) is derived. In this derivation, the wave-particle duality of photons in the theory of special relativity is…
Maximal accelerations are related to the existence of a minimal time for a given physical system. Such a minimal time can be either an intrinsic time scale of the system or connected to a quantum gravity induced ultraviolet cut off. In this…
We present an attempt to improve models of the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect by relaxing several restrictive assumptions. We consider the entire multiline stellar spectrum rather than just a single line, use no assumptions about the shape of…
A new kind of uniformly accelerated reference frames with a line-element different from the M{\o}ller and Rindler ones is presented, in which every observer at $x, y, z=$consts. has the same constant acceleration. The laws of mechanics are…
Separate constituents of extended systems measure proper-times on different world-lines. Relating and comparing proper-time measurements along any two such world-lines requires that common simultaneity be possible, which in turn implies…
It is shown without making use of Lorentz transformation that there exists a phenomenon of relativistic zero-frequency shift in Doppler effect for a plane wave in free space, observed in two inertial frames of relative motion, and the zero…
First, we extend the special relativity into the superluminal case and put forward a superluminal theory of kinematics, in which we show that the temporal coordinate need exchanging with one of the spatial coordinates in a superluminal…
