Born Reciprocal Relativity Theory Redefines the Notion of Mass :How Massless Photons Appear Massive in Accelerated Frames

Authors: Carlos Castro

Starting with a brief review of Born Reciprocal (non-inertial) Relativity Theory (BRRT), it is shown how massless photons in one frame of reference can appear massive in an acccelerated frame. An immediate application can be found in the behavior of in-falling/outgoing photons propagating in a black hole gravitational background where in-falling and outgoing photons from the point of view of an accelerated frame of reference (with respect to a static spherically symmetric Schwarzschild black hole, for example) will appear massive and subluminal. In view of these novel findings that massless particles can appear massive in accelerated frames, it should have many important consequences in cosmology (dark energy, dark matter problem) and QFT.
