Research

Title: Proof that Our Universe can only be Newtonian or Relativistic PI: Jamal Khayat Institution: University of Central Florida Abstract: This research aims to reformulate the theory of Special Relativity using an approach based on K-Calculus without assuming the constancy of the speed of light. The goal is to demonstrate that the current K-Calculus can be refined by removing its superfluous assumption and that the new polished version predicts that the universe can only be Newtonian or relativistic, in agreement with other formulations.
