Fractal Space-time And Microphysics: Towards A Theory Of Scale Relativity

This is the first detailed account of a new approach to microphysics based on two leading ideas: (i) the explicit dependence of physical laws on scale encountered in quantum physics, is the manifestation of a fundamental principle of nature, scale relativity. This generalizes Einstein''s principle of (motion) relativity to scale transformations; (ii) the mathematical achievement of this principle ...
