Default BAEZ AND SMOLIN WILL DEFORM SPECIAL RELATIVITY

http://www.maths.nottingham.ac.uk/co...gsquared-2008/
2008 - Quantum Geometry and Quantum Gravity Conference
Monday June 30th - Friday July 4th 2008
University of Nottingham, UK
Topics:
Quantum gravity, including loop quantum gravity, spin foam models, 1+1
and 2+1 quantum gravity, perturbative approaches and other discrete
approaches.
Quantum geometry, including physical aspects of non-commutative
geometry, quantum groups and quantum topology. Non-commutative field
theory and DEFORMED SPECIAL RELATIVITY.
Scientific Committee
Victor Aldaya (Granada)
Abhay Ashtekar (Penn State)
John Baez (UC Riverside)
Jürg Fröhlich (ETH, Zürich)
Harald Grosse (Vienna)
Shahn Majid (QMUL)
Carlo Rovelli (Marseille)
Thomas Schücker (Provence)
Lee Smolin (Perimeter)

Bravo Baez bravo Smolin bravo two Albert Einsteins of our generation
(Hawking and Tom Roberts are no longer two Albert Einsteins of our
generation)! But how are you going to deform special relativity, oh
Baez and Smolin?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubly-special_relativity
"Doubly-special relativity -- also called deformed special relativity
or, by some, extra-special relativity -- is a modified theory of
special relativity in which there is not only an observer-independent
maximum velocity (the speed of light), but an observer-independent
minimum length (the Planck length)."

Bravo Baez bravo Smolin bravo two Albert Einsteins of our generation
(Hawking and Tom Roberts are no longer two Albert Einsteins of our
generation)! But don't forget, oh Baez and Smolin, to try another
deformation based on a single assumption:

"Doubly-special relativity -- also called deformed special relativity
or, by some, extra-special relativity -- is a modified theory of
special relativity in which there is an observer-dependent speed of
light (c'=c+v)."

Pentcho,

I assume you missed the lightspeed ( extiction) discussion on this
forum and others: see:
