Scale Relativity
Edit

Scale relativity is a geometrical and fractal space-time physical theory. Relativity theories (special relativity and general relativity) are based on the notion that position, orientation, movement and acceleration cannot be defined in an absolute way, but only relative to a system of reference. The scale relativity theory proposes to extend the concept of relativity to physical scales (time, length, energy, or momentum scales), by introducing an explicit "state of scale" in coordinate systems. This extension of the relativity principle using fractal geometries to study scale transformations was originally introduced by Laurent Nottale, based on the idea of a fractal space-time theory first introduced by Garnet Ord, and by Nottale and Jean Schneider. The construction of the theory is similar to previous relativity theories, with three different levels: Galilean, special and general. The development of a full general scale relativity is not finished yet.
