Pseudo-complex General Relativity: Peter O. Hess & Walter Greiner

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the paper "Pseudo-complex General Relativity" by Peter O. Hess and Walter Greiner, which proposes an extension of General Relativity using pseudo-complex space-time coordinates. This new theory introduces two distinct metrics linked by specific conditions, leading to a pseudo-complex Schwarzschild solution that eliminates singularities. The findings suggest a minimal radius for heavy mass objects and explore implications for redshift and observational signatures.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of General Relativity principles

Pseudo-complex General Relativity
Peter O. Hess, Walter Greiner
(Submitted on 9 Dec 2008)
An extension of the theory of General Relativity is proposed, based on pseudo-complex space-time coordinates. The new theory corresponds to the introduction of two, in general different, metrics which are connected through specific conditions. A pseudo-complex Schwarzschild solution is constructed, which does not suffer any more by a singularity. The solution indicates a minimal radius for a heavy mass object. Consequences for the redshift and possible signatures for its observation are discussed.
