A Lorentz variant theory that passes fundamental tests of special relativity and makes diverging, testable but as of yet untested predictions [version 2; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]

F1000Research, 2023
Background Tests of special relativity have been conducted over the past century with increasing accuracy and none have showed violations of Lorentz invariance.

Super special relativity [PDF]

Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience
This paper proposes a new theoretical framework for understanding time perception centered on information processing in the brain. We introduce the concept of “perceptual time” as distinct from inertial clock time and develop a model relating perceptual ...

Special relativity at the quantum scale. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
It has been suggested that the space-time structure as described by the theory of special relativity is a macroscopic manifestation of a more fundamental quantum structure (pre-geometry).

Special relativity derived from spacetime magma. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
We present a derivation of relativistic spacetime largely untethered from specific physical considerations, in constrast to the many physically-based derivations that have appeared in the last few decades.

Thermodynamic and kinematic origins of anisotropic relativity [PDF]

Scientific Reports
We recently developed the framework of anisotropic relativity through a perhaps surprising path – the new theory of thermodynamic relativity. Here we show that there is another, and in retrospect more obvious path, which is through asynchronous ...

The theory of thermodynamic relativity [PDF]

Scientific Reports
We introduce the theory of thermodynamic relativity, a unified theoretical framework for describing both entropies and velocities, and their respective physical disciplines of thermodynamics and kinematics, which share a surprisingly identical ...

Perspectivism and Special Relativity

Teorie vědy, 2021
The special theory of relativity holds significant interest for scientific perspectivists. In this paper, I distinguish between two related meanings of “perspectival,” and argue that reference frames are perspectives, provided that perspectival means ...

The Simplicity of Disproving the Theory of Special Relativity

Science & Philosophy, 2022
Einstein’s theory of Special relativity is founded on an error made by Hendrick Lorentz.  It is not necessary to expose the mathematical inconsistencies of special relativity, since the theory collapses by simply exposing the error made by Lorentz.

Doubly special relativity and relative locality

Proceedings of Corfu Summer Institute 2021 "School and Workshops on Elementary Particle Physics and Gravity" — PoS(CORFU2021), 2022
This is a write-up of two lectures delivered at COST CA18108 First Training School. They cover the motivations and some basic technical results in the field of Doubly Special Relativity and Relative Locality. The energy-dependent speed of light is a recurring theme here. The soccer ball problem is also briefly described.

Triply special relativity [PDF]

Physical Review D, 2004
We describe an extension of special relativity characterized by {\it three} invariant scales, the speed of light, $c$, a mass, $ $ and a length $R$. This is defined by a non-linear extension of the Poincare algerbra, $\cal A$, which we describe here. For $R\to \infty$, $\cal A$ becomes the Snyder presentation of the $ $-Poincare algebra, while for $
