A new insight into the physics of Lorentz invariance: Implications for the GZK and TeV-γ photon theories

Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Applied Physics (IOSR-JAP) - Year 2018, Vol 10, Issue 6

Abstract

The main argument of the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin (GZK) and TeV-γ photon theories1,2,3,4,5,6 is based on the concept of Lorentz invariance. In this paper, we revisit this concept and show that as the mathematical derivation of Lorentz transformations is based on a specific orientation in space of two inertial frames, it cannot be used to mathematically correlate coordinates measured from inertial frames in a different orientation. This built-in mathematical restriction on the applicability of Lorentz transformations naturally leads to new restrictions on the applicability of Lorentz invariance that invalidate the results of the GZK and TeV-γ photon theories.
