Special relativity transformed the scientific paradigm of the Universe. The physical theory of cosmological relationships of time and space, motion within it and electrodynamics, made light the most constant item, replacing time as the same absolute value all over the Universe. Time would become united with space and change in its intensity or quality in relation of motion through it. The ‘world-line of an observer in one galaxy would be different from that of one someplace else-the Universe’s space-time is an infinitely variable differential without coordination that is entirely a custom experience of space and time density.
Space-time warps alter the relationships between space and time in special relativity. Deceleration of time in regard to space and comparative frames of reference apparently occurs with speeding towards c while space reciprocally increases mass moving through it. We wonder what this says about the nature of space and of time regarding mass accelerating in it?
Here iuus a quote from a science fiction writer about what might account for some of the characterisitcs of relativity-“Science fiction writers (occasionally) wonder about standing waves of space and time, whereat maybe wave-particle duality entangles dimensional characteristics enabling skipping through space-time like a Teflon coated bullet through paper.
Unfortunately extra small dimensions where all these wonderful things are speculated to happen may be functions of scale that are local yet universal. Wave-particle duality when collapsed to deterministic state may become entangled through deterministic processes to. How do the structures in these small dimensions scale up to interact with ‘larger’ dimensions that we think of as the four of the ‘natural’ universe? Are they like a reverse pyramid upside down in regard to space-time enabling entanglement of selected quanta? Are the small dimensions multi-story scuppers with a universal, non-local bilge at the bottom with quantum slots higher up?”

Einstein won the Nobel prize for his work on explaining the photo-electric effect. Einstein’s insight was that light has a particle nature as well as a wave nature. Modern quantum cosmologist working with string theory may explain that duality of wave-particles by the illustration of wave-particles as loops or membranes instead that may appear to be a line segment or a point particle from a particular point of view-for they would not be symmetrical in all directions such as a point particle (they might be more like parabolic orbit shapes). The photo-electric effect could be a function of the size and shape of particular classes of loops that are required to interact with other loops or strings. Inward releases of photons from an interior of a particle hit with laser light of energy might be a consequence of the detachment of a string from the atomic configuration or cluster of the larger shape. That would be one cause for contemporary observations that quantum mechanical particles may act like waves instead of particles. Light may have a constant velocity at the highest range because of its pre-determined loop characteristics and quantum grounding in space-time. Special relativity was published by Einstein in 1905 and covers aspects of relativity for’ inertial frames of reference’ while the General theory of relativity covers ‘general coordinate transformations’ of space-time applicable to any frame of reference.
The Special Theory of Relativity provided a window to view energy and the conservation of energy in space-time’s four evident dimensions. E = mc2 was developed as a postulate for the special theory. Its range of accuracy is form energy at rest in a given area rather than universally. Mass releasing energy at light speed is converting mass to energy. Einstein said ‘Under this theory mass is not an unalterable magnitude, but a magnitude dependent on (and, indeed, identical with) the amount of energy.’ Special relativity replaced Newton’s mechanics in which space and time were separate, and in which time was the same all over the Universe. Newton had no idea about the quantum characteristics of light nor a way to measure its speed-he thus worked with large objects such as planets acting within a gravitational field , with gravity’s characteristics helpfully measured earlier by Galileo. Einstein found the Universe more malleable and its forces and components subject to deformations and transformations in relation to characteristics of the space-time composition of mass, energy and velocity. Superstring and M-Theory loops and membranes may function they way they do, or give the appearance the have to observers in four dimensional space time because they exist in more than four dimensions of space time-in fact the loops may just appear in four dimensions as points of selected space-time relations that continue in the context of special relativity’s view of the conservation of energy with three parts momentum (for the physical dimensions) and one of time. A four-momentum is a Lorentz transformation.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_of_energy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-momentum relativity brought several changes to the concept of static space and time. Time was unified with space and motion though space-time has increasing time dilation as one accelerates toward the speed of light. Mass may be concentrated by gravity and ‘warp’ space around it. Relativity of time is a point of SR; the increase of mass as it accelerates toward light speed and the equivalence of mass and energy are other factors of SR.
SR is not a quantum cosmological theory yet it made the first significant step in that direction. Einstein set his Universe in a four dimensional space-time with its values intrinsically set in regard to the configuration of mass and energy and one’s motion through space-time on a personal world-line or universe-experience from a particular place (that can change). Because a loop-membrane super-string theory would place certain values upon all string energies or frequencies existing in various contexts or relations from sub-atiomic to macro-cosmic some of the observational characteristics of SR may be explained at a deeper level by the pervasive super-string loop qualities. As one approaches light speed only the frequency or vobration characteristics of light are admitted. To travel faster than light might require a differrent kind of loop or vibrational composition as a transformation.
Theoretical realtionships of a loop based universe in a context of Relativity theory might have, transcendently, characteristics divided between a dichotmy of power structures with implicit locality for theorists and relativity with intervals and disconformities such as appears in the macro-Universe of Einstein’s world view. Simultaneous differring appearances would exist because of the nature of the energy or loop ernergy characteristics or protocol of each level. If one considers the valence of atomic orbits as representational for quanta, then the freedom of motion or physical relations may have a macro-quantum level as well as a a micro-quuantum level that forms a foundation for quantum cosmology. Quantum mechanical characteristics that appear to violate the speed of light vibrational patterns may ba an appearance created by the loop nature and the finite determinism of point measurements of sections of trans-dimensional loops or membranes.
