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).

About Locality and the Relativity Principle Beyond Special Relativity [PDF]
Phys. Rev. D 84, 085010 (2011), 2011 Locality of interactions is an essential ingredient of Special Relativity. Recently, a new framework under the name of relative locality \cite{AmelinoCamelia:2011bm} has been proposed as a way to consider Planckian modifications of the relativistic dynamics of particles.

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.

The theory of thermodynamic relativity [PDF]
Scientific ReportsWe 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 ...

A logic road from special relativity to general relativity [PDF]
Synthese Volume 186, Number 3 (2012), 633-649, 2010 We present a streamlined axiom system of special relativity in first-order logic. From this axiom system we "derive" an axiom system of general relativity in two natural steps. We will also see how the axioms of special relativity transform into those of general relativity.

Numerical Hydrodynamics in Special Relativity [PDF]
Living Reviews in Relativity, 1999 This review is concerned with a discussion of numerical methods for the solution of the equations of special relativistic hydrodynamics (SRHD). Particular emphasis is put on a comprehensive review of the application of high-resolution shock-capturing ...

Neutrino superluminality without Cherenkov-like processes in Finslerian special relativity [PDF]
Physics Letters B 710 (2012) 430-434, 2012 Recently, Cohen and Glashow [A.G. Cohen, S.L. Glashow, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 107}, 181803 (2011)] pointed out that the superluminal neutrinos reported by the OPERA would lose their energy rapidly via the Cherenkov-like process. The Cherenkov-like process for the superluminal particles would be forbidden if the principle of special relativity holds in ...

An Invariant Formulation of Special Relativity, or the "True Transformation Relativity," and its Comparison with Experiments [PDF]
arXiv, 2001 Different formulations of special relativity are theoretically discussed. First an invariant formulation, i.e., the ''true transformations (TT) relativity,'' is exposed. There a physical quantity is represented by a true tensor which comprises both components and a basis.

Special Theory of Relativity without special assumptions and tachyonic motion [PDF]
Condensed Matter Physics, 2010 The most general form of transformations of space-time coordinates in Special Theory of Relativity based solely on physical assumptions is described. Only the linearity of space-time transformations and the constancy of the speed of light are used as ...

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 ...
