A Variant of Special Relativity and Long-Distance Astronomy
AUTOR(ES)
Segal, I. E.
RESUMO
The redshift, microwave background, and other observable astronomical features are deduced from two theoretical assumptions: (1) global space-time is a certain variant of Minkowski space, locally indistinguishable in causality and covariance features but globally admitting the full conformal group as symmetries although having a spherical space component; (2) the true energy operator corresponds to a certain generator of this group which is not globally scale-covariant, whereas laboratory frequency measurements are inevitably such and correspond to the conventional energy operator [unk]/i[unk]/[unk]t.
