Hey Mod, perhaps you can help with this and tie it into the thread head.
I have been getting originally unsolicted e-mail from
From : Ozan Hasimi OKTAR Sorry I have deleted the contents as this author requested twice in email.
for some time now and I have been replying but I am starting to think that his ideas violate TIME in respect to the speed of light?
quote:
The story begins with a researcher called Giovanni Amelino-Camelia. Working on quantum gravity in Rome, he decided to find a theoretical solution to solve one of modern physics big problems unexpectedly high energies of cosmic rays. To do this, he formed a new addition to the theory of special relativity.
The basis of doubly special relativity, which this is now called, is that the universe possesses two, not one absolute values. In Einsteins original relativity, we have the speed of light as a constant, independent of the frame of reference for the observer. In doubly special relativity, there is also a threshold energy/length, which is true for all observers.
So far, so simple? But this small change makes a huge difference. By SR, the length of an object is entirely dependent on the particular observer. If I were moving at a different speed from you, I would see an object entirely differently. But in certain branches of physics, the laws of physics around an object are very dependent on its length, resulting in the absurd suggestion that the laws of physics are different for each person. In attempting to unify the different laws of quantum mechanics, where the Planck length/energy represents the point where quantum laws become apparent, this is especially problematic. If we follow DSR, and use the Planck energy as a universe absolute threshold, all observers can determine the laws of physics in the same way, and this problem is solved. The unification of quantum theory and relativistic theory is made a lot easier.

I got that by googling his name today.
In particular he seems to have an extension that is against Poincare's notion of return point (in this time) or the clock of Einstein. I dont really know. I really cant tell if I'm just in South AMerica on this or if there really is something interesting here. Perhaps one of the physics people can respond as well and show up more in JustinC's question.
OKTAR has some material in two places here:

He has a dubious, to me,bye-bye line "Satan Trust uS"
Would the speed of light be a barrier in this kind of time?
