Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental observation of nonspherically-decaying radiation from a rotating superluminal source
TL;DR: In this paper, the experimental implementation of a superluminal (i.e., faster than light in vacuo) polarization current distribution that both oscillates and undergoes centripetal acceleration is described.
Book ChapterDOI
Relativity principles, absolute objects and symmetry groups*
TL;DR: The nature and role of the various relativity principles has been correspondingly unclear as discussed by the authors, and exactly how they are associated with given physical theories, has been far from clear, as well as the nature of the role of these principles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fundamental length scale of quantum spacetime foam
TL;DR: In this paper, it was argued that the fundamental length scale for the quantum dynamics of spacetime need not be equal to the Planck length, and that this new length scale is related to a nonvanishing cosmological constant or vacuum energy density.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two Mathematically Equivalent Versions of Maxwell's Equations
TL;DR: A review of the canonical proper-time approach to relativistic mechanics and classical electrodynamics can be found in this article, where it is shown that there are two versions of Maxwell's equations.
Book ChapterDOI
The Hypothesis of Locality and Its Limitations
TL;DR: The hypothesis of locality, its origin and consequences are discussed in this article, where it is shown that locality is necessary for establishing the local spacetime frame of accelerated observers, in this connection the measurement of length in a rotating system is considered in detail.
