As I understand it, the Special Theory of Relativity has three distortions associated with approaching the speed of light (as viewed from a relatively stationary observer):
Time dialates (stretches out) to infinity and effectively stops altogether
Length in the direction of travel contracts to zero
Mass increases to infinity
What if we messed with the equasions so the OPPOSITE happens?
Time speeds up, length stretches out, and mass dropps to zero?
Then you would have a model that makes no sense.
You do understand that those three equations aren’t axioms of relativity, right? That they’re consequences of the axiom that the speed of light in a vacuum is constant for all observers?
What do you mean by what happens? What happens is what you describe as you’ve invented you own set of transformations which can’t be used to describe physical situations.
I figured, from the three transformations, you could backtrack a strange answer.
When you plug in a superluminal velocity, mass goes past infinity and ends up a negative imaginary number.
erhaps AntiRelativity produces something similar, like -©i or some strange negative dimension analogous to spacetime.
Well, it’s clearly not what really happens in our universe - this can be verified in the lab. But is it consistent?
I don’t know. I’ll think about it.
