Doubly-special relativity
Doubly-Special Relativity is a new theory of
special relativity first postulated in a paper by Giovanni Amelino-Camelia. In this theory, he postulates that in addition to the
speed of light, a characteristic energy scale based on the
Planck scale should remain
invariant under relativistic transformations.
One of the motivations for this work is the observation of high-energy cosmic rays that appear to violate the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin limit: the so-called GZK paradox.
