1209.3492 (Madarász X. Judit et al.)

Special Relativity over the Field of Rational Numbers    [PDF]

Madarász X. Judit, Gergely Székely
We investigate the question: what structures of numbers (as physical quantities) are suitable to be used in special relativity? The answer to this question depends strongly on the auxiliary assumptions we add to the basic assumptions of special relativity. We show that there is a natural axiom system of special relativity which can be modeled even over the field of rational numbers.
