What is the Latest Research on Spacetime Models in Relativity Theory?

[aperakh]

Theoretical physics is a hobby, though I did was pretty close to undergraduate degree in it from UCSD.
Area of interest mainly Special and General Relativity, specifically working on an new model for spacetime.

Welcome to PhysicsForums!

Please just keep in mind that we discuss models that have been published in peer-reviewed journals and textbooks. We don't allow discussion of personal models. Thanks.

Fair enough. But is it OK to ask questions relating to published work?

Depends on where it was published. A refereed journal is definitely OK, beyond that, there's a list of publications that are not considered good sources.

Probably, modulo what @phinds said. If you have any doubts, feel free to ping me or any other Mentor to run the reference by us. Just click on my avatar and Start a Conversation.

Also, here is the section from the Rules link about sources (see INFO at the top of the page). Enjoy the PF!

Acceptable Sources:
Generally, discussion topics should be traceable to standard textbooks or to peer-reviewed scientific literature. Usually, we accept references from journals that are listed here:

Use the search feature to search for journals by words in their titles. If you have problems with the search feature, you can view the entire list here:

In recent years, there has been an increasing number of "fringe" and Internet-only journals that appear to have lax reviewing standards. We do not generally accept references from such journals. Note that some of these fringe journals are listed in Thomson Reuters. Just because a journal is listed in Thomson Reuters does not mean it is acceptable.

References that appear only on http://www.arxiv.org/ (which is not peer-reviewed) are subject to review by the Mentors. We recognize that in some fields this is the accepted means of professional communication, but in other fields we prefer to wait until formal publication elsewhere. References that appear only on viXra (http://www.vixra.org) are never allowed.

Thanks. That's useful info.
