RELATIVITY IN SPACETIMES WITH SHORT-DISTANCE STRUCTURE GOVERNED BY AN OBSERVER-INDEPENDENT (PLANCKIAN) LENGTH SCALE

RELATIVITY IN SPACETIMES WITH SHORT-DISTANCE STRUCTURE GOVERNED BY AN OBSERVER-INDEPENDENT (PLANCKIAN) LENGTH SCALE

I show that it is possible to formulate the Relativity postulates in a way that does not lead to inconsistencies in the case of spacetimes whose short-distance structure is governed by an observer-independent length scale. The consistency of these postulates proves incorrect the expectation that modifications of the rules of …
