OPERATIONAL INDISTINGUISHABLY OF VARYING SPEED OF LIGHT THEORIES

Nosratollah Jafari, Ahmad Shariati

Open full text 11 citations

Abstract

The varying speed of light theories have been recently proposed to solve the standard model problems and anomalies in the ultra high energy cosmic rays. These theories try to formulate a new relativity with no assumptions about the constancy of the light speed. In this regard, we study two theories and want to show that these theories are not the new theories of relativity, but only re-descriptions of Einstein's special relativity.
