Local structures of gravity-free space and time and their phenomena

Abstract

In my previous work, physics/0205011, I reported several observations on special relativity, its experimental facts and its relations to quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics. These observations made us conscious: Special relativity is not a ultimate theory; Some modification is needed; Any modification must not violate the principles of the constancy of the light speed and of the local Lorentz invariance; We probably have to change the assumption on local structures of gravity-free space and time in special relativity. Actually, such a kind of modification of special relativity has been already done. The generalized Finslerian structures of gravity-free space and time in the usual inertial coordinate system have been proposed. Here, in this lecture, I talk about these structures of gravity-free space and time and their recognized phenomena.
