Scale relativity
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Scale relativity is a theory of space-time initially developed by Laurent Nottale, working at the French observatory of Meudon, near Paris. It is an extension of the concept of relativity found the special relativity and general relativity to physical scales (time, length, energy, or momentum scales). If scales in nature are always relative, an absolute scale cannot exist. As a consequence, fundamental physical laws need to be scale invariant. While differential trajectories found in standard physics are automatically scale invariant, it is the main insight of the theory that also certain non-differential trajectories (which explicitly depend on the scale of the observer) can be scale invariant...
