Abstract

If we study the de Sitter universe with the methods of projective geometry, we obtain a new mechanics valid on a cosmic scale and for hyperdense matter. In this projective mechanics the mass varies with the space-time distance, and the linear and angular momentum are reunited in a single projective tensor.
