Discrete Momentum Mechanics and Faster Than Light Transition
(декабря 2004)
Аннотация
In this work a new mechanics will be studied which is based on the hypothesis
that the change of linear momentum of a particle happens as a discrete pulses.
By using this hypothesis and by considering Newton's relation between energy
and momentum, and the law of mass and energy conservation as a priori, the
Einstein dispersion relation can be derived as a zero approximation without
using Lorentz transformations. Other terms will be derived as a corrections to
this relation. It will be shown that the effect of the corrections will be
smaller and smaller with the increase of momentum. The work will offer an
explanation of why the velocity of light seems to be constant regardless of the
velocity of the source, and under which condition this will be changed. Also a
prediction is made that faster than light transition could happen theoretically
under certain conditions, and a nonzero mass photon can exist in nature. The
work is purely classical in the sense that it doesn't involve any uncertainty
relations.
