Towards a New Paradigm: Relativity in Configuration Space

نویسنده

چکیده

We consider the possibility that the basic space of physics is not spacetime, but configuration space. We illustrate this on the example with a system of gravitationally interacting point particles. It turns out that such system can be described by the minimal length action in a multidimensional configuration space C with a block diagonal metric. Allowing for more general metrics and curvatures of C, we step beyond the ordinary general relativity in spacetime. The latter theory is then an approximation to the general relativity in C. Other sorts of configuration spaces can also be considered, for instance those associated with extended objects, such as strings and branes. This enables a deeper understanding of the geometric principle behind string theory, and an insight on the occurrence of Yang-Mills and gravitational fields at the ‘fundamental level’.

Postrelativity — A Paradigm For Quantization With Preferred Newtonian Frame

We define a new paradigm — postrelativity — based on the hypothesis of a preferred hidden Newtonian frame in relativistic theories. It leads to a modification of general relativity with ether interpretation, without topological problems, black hole and big bang singularities. Semiclassical theory predicts Hawking radiation with evaporation before horizon formation. In quantum gravity there is n...

Scale-invariant gravity: Spacetime recovered

The configuration space of general relativity is superspace the space of all Riemannian 3-metrics modulo diffeomorphisms. However, it has been argued that the configuration space for gravity should be conformal superspace the space of all Riemannian 3-metrics modulo diffeomorphisms and conformal transformations. Recently a manifestly 3-dimensional theory was constructed with conformal superspac...

A new model for persian multi-part words edition based on statistical machine translation

Multi-part words in English language are hyphenated and hyphen is used to separate different parts. Persian language consists of multi-part words as well. Based on Persian morphology, half-space character is needed to separate parts of multi-part words where in many cases people incorrectly use space character instead of half-space character. This common incorrectly use of space leads to some s...

Our reality as emergent phenomenon

In this article, I propose new paradigm of physics. The paradigm leads to simple and unified picture of world. Such simplification and unification has cost of several key concepts of philosophy, including Being. I propose very radical hypothesis of emergent space-time-matter, in which space-time-matter are emergent properties of more fundamental entity. The hypothesis of emergent reality (ERhyp...
