We study physical consequences of the Einstein equivalence principle (EEP) for a Hubble observer in FLRW universe. We introduce the local inertial coordinates with the help of a special conformal transformation. The local inertial metric is…
The description of an observer's measurement in general relativity and the standard model of particle physics is closely related to the spacetime metric. In order to understand and interpret measurements, which test the metric structure of…
This paper explores visual motion-based invariants, resulting in a new instantaneous domain where: a) the stationary environment is perceived as unchanged, even as the 2D images undergo continuous changes due to camera motion, b) obstacles…
A review is given of the theory of non-inertial frames (with the associated inertial effects and the study of the non-relativistic limit) in Minkowski space-time, of parametrized Minkowski theories and of the rest-frame instant form of…
Macroscopic concepts pertaining to the Unruh effect are elaborated and used to clarify its physical manifestations. Based on a description of the motion of accelerated, spatially extended laboratories in Minkowski space in terms of…
Diakonov theory of quantum gravity, in which tetrads emerge as the bilinear combinations of the fermionis fields,\cite{Diakonov2011} suggests that in general relativity the metric may have dimension 2, i.e. $[g_{\mu\nu}]=1/[L]^2$. Several…
The formulas for the 3-dimensional distance and the velocity modulus in the 4-dimensional linear space with the Berwald-Moor metrics are obtained. The used algorithm is applicable both for the Minkowski space and for the arbitrary…
(Some Latex problems should be removed in this version) Fermi coordinates (FC) are supposed to be the natural extension of Cartesian coordinates for an arbitrary moving observer in curved space-time. Since their construction cannot be done…
We present a novel derivation of special relativity based on the information physics of events comprising a causal set. We postulate that events are fundamental, and that some events have the potential to receive information about other…
We take J. S. Bell's commendation of ``frame-dependent'' perspectives to the limit here, and consider motion on a ``map'' of landmarks and clocks fixed with respect to a single arbitrary inertial-reference frame. The metric equation…
Orientability is an important topological property of spacetime manifolds. It is generally assumed that a test for spatial orientability requires a journey across the whole 3-space to check for orientation-reversing paths. Since such a…
We consider the $\varrho$-Minkowski spacetime, a model with linear noncommutativity involving the time and the azimuthal angle. We study its quantum symmetries, the $\varrho$-Poincar\'e quantum group, and analyse the concepts of…
A uniformly accelerating observer perceives the Minkowski vacuum state as a thermal bath of radiation. We point out that this field-theory effect can be derived, for any dimension higher than two, without actually invoking very high energy…
This paper explores the observability and estimation capability of dynamical systems using predominantly relative measurements of the system's state-space variables, with minimal to no reliance on absolute measurements of these variables.…
We derive an exact deterministic nonlinear observer to compute the continuous state of an inertial navigation system based on partial discrete measurements, the so-called strapdown problem. Nonlinear contraction is used as the main analysis…
An observer at rest with the expanding universe experiences some extra noise in the quantum vacuum, and so does an accelerated observer in a vacuum at rest (in Minkowski space). The literature mainly focuses on the ideal cases of…
A deformation of the canonical algebra for kinematical observables of the quantum field theory in Minkowski space-time has been considered under the condition of Lorentz invariance. A relativistic invariant algebra obtained depends on…
We investigate the effects of the aberration of light for a uniformly accelerating observer. The observer we consider is initially at rest with respect to a luminous spherical object--a star, say--and then starts to move away with constant…
The interval of a flat Minkowski space is invariant with respect to the previously found three-dimensional transformation for point rotating coordinate systems. The assumption that our space is an object of point rotation at a frequency…
In this note, we propose that an object moving with proper constant acceleration, i.e., a Rindler observer experiences a sublimation (or evaporation) process. In this first proposal, we do not consider the backreaction due to the…
