Abstract

Using the first postulate of relativity only, we develop a general theory, termed taiji relativity, which has four-dimensional symmetry and is consistent with experiments. Within this framework, the speed of light is no longer a universal constant. Thus, quantum electrodynamics has only two fundamental constants, ē and J, which are the analogues of e and h{combining short solidus overlay}. Some new results are implied.

Bibliographical note

Funding Information:
The idea of constructing a relativity theory by using only the first postulate of special relativity has been discussed by Ritz, Tolman, Pauli and others 6: but the crucial taiji transformation (4) and physical implications in Eqs. (9)-(38) are new and are our original works 7 This work was supported in part by The Jing Shin Research Fund of the UMassD Foundation.
