A23 Posted May 18, 2010 Report Posted May 18, 2010 From the nature constant, we can find that : [math]\sqrt{\frac{c^7}{\hbar G}}[/math] has the dimension of an acceleration, which should be gigantic. Could it be that a theory in which a limit acceleration exists, like the theory in which the speed limit exists ? Thx. in advance. Quote
ryan2006 Posted May 19, 2010 Report Posted May 19, 2010 C2xC2XC2 ect light times itself. Personally if we can accelerate to light we can accelerate even faster but we'll need a headlights to see in the darkness and a laser on the front to disinegrate all the particles in the way so that we do not crash.

Jay-qu Posted May 19, 2010 Report Posted May 19, 2010 There is nothing particularly special about the number you have specified. But the accompanying question is an interesting one. There are researchers out there working on such a theory. Following the assumption of a limit in acceleration leads to a new set of equations of motion, similar to Einsteins relativistic equations, but with extra ultra-relativistic correction terms. This is all very interesting but it is not supported by any experiments. So far no observable deviation from Einsteins relativity has being observed in high acceleration experiments - but who knows maybe the limit is sitting out of current reach.
