Summary
The role of synchronization in special relativity and some related theories is investigated. It is found that physical reality can be described with any value on the synchronization parameter, that there exists a preferred inertial system and that the existence of tachyons or of waves travelling with velocity ≠ c relative to this system would enable us to measure « absolute » velocities. An asymmetry tachyonsbradyons is found.
Riassunto
Si studiano il ruolo della sincronizzazione nella relatività speciale e alcune teorie connesse. Si è trovato che la realtà fisica può essere descritta con qualche valore del parametro di sincronizzazione, che esiste un sistema inerziale preferito e che l–esistenza di tachioni o di onde che viaggiano con velocità ≠ c relativa a questo sistema ci impedirebbe di misurare le velocità assolute. Si trova un–asimmetria tachioni-bradioni.
Резюме
Исследуется роль синхронизации в специальной теории относительности и в некоторых родственных теориях. Обнаружено, что физическая реальность может быть описана с помощью любого значения параметра синхронизации, что существует предпочтительная инерциальная система и чго существование тахионов или волн, распространяющихся со скоростью ≠ с относительно указанной системы, позволило бы нам измерить абсолютные » скорости. Обнаружена асимметрия « тахионы-брадионы ».
