Micro Relativity

  • Otto E. Rössler , Hans H. Diebner and Werner Pabst

Abstract

A new synthesis based on microscopic classical thinking is attempted in the spirit of the molecular-dynamics-simulation (MDS) paradigm. Leibniz’s idea that joint scale transformations cancel out is invoked. Boltzmann discovered that a time reversal in the whole universe is undetectable from the inside. As a corollary, objective micro time reversals occur in the interface between a subsystem and the rest of the universe, whenever the former undergoes a time reversal. This is shown to occur in a generic class of Hamiltonian systems. The “microinterface” arrived at generalizes the macro frame of relativity to the micro realm. Micro relativity comprises Bohr’s idea of an observer-relative complementarity and Everett’s idea of an observer-relative state. As in relativity proper, a multiplicity of worlds (cuts) exist. For the inhabitants of an artificial MDS universe, therefore a radically new option is available: world change technology.
