Modification to Special Relativity

Abstract

The speed of light is usually taken as one of the fundamental constants. String, and field, theories appear to require the altercation of this constant into a functional form $E(m,c)$ which is not $E=m{c}^2$. The analysis requires the re-interpretation of the renormalization group flow equations. There are quantum corrections to the mass-energy relation generically for particles of any sort. A breakdown of special relativity follows. Cosmological data might be one of the best testbeds to analyze the computable functional forms of the mass energy relations.
