The Theory of Relativity is one of the most fundamental discoveries in all of physics. Relativity implies that in every unaccelerated, irrotational reference frame the laws of physics remain the same. What this means is that it doesn't matter what such reference frame you use to make your measurements, the laws of physics that we know about will turn out to be the same in every such reference frame. Experiments to measure the earth's speed through the ether, starting with the Michelson-Morley experiment, have all given negative results. We know of nothing in any experimental data or in the mathematical models that correspond to experimental data that compels us to reject the concept of a single fixed reference frame. Nevertheless the community of physics has chosen to do so as a heuristic. This turned out to be such a useful concept that the idea that there cannot be a fixed reference frame has become dogma in contemporary physics. The experimental evidence is merely that we have tried to detect a fixed reference frame and have failed. The mathematical laws of physics certainly do not rule out such a fixed reference frame, on the contrary, they admit to every unaccelerated, irrotational reference frame as being consistent with the law of physics. Therefore, as should be obvious to the kind of child that notices that the emperor has no clothes, a particular, single, fixed reference frame will also be consistent with the laws of physics. It seems that many learned members of the establishment suffer great admiration for the emperor’s new clothes. We must remind ourselves that just 50 years ago there was no experimental evidence that indicated that fundamental physics violated Charge, Parity and Time symmetries.
DP implies that our current physical models correctly encompass almost all physical phenomena, but not 100% of all physical phenomena. DP insists that, in theory, there must be absolute velocity and absolute angular orientation at the most microscopic level in physics. At that level concepts that we attribute to both Einsteinian and Newtonian Relativity would be violated. This does not imply that the mathematics of the laws of Relativity is only approximate, rather that there are experiments not yet done that might allow making new measurements. This only changes our non-mathematical understanding of the consequences implied by the correct mathematical theories of physics. It has no effect on the correctness of current mathematical models under almost all circumstances. The overthrow of pure time reversal symmetry in physics may be a preview of the possible overthrow of translational and rotational invariance.
Since DP motion is related to a fixed reference, the DP energy and the DP momentum of particles are absolute quantities. This is an essential feature of DP since the information that represents the energy and the momentum of a particle is represented by digital information that is associated with the particle. There is no doubt that absolute translational symmetry and absolute rotational symmetry, as a most basic microscopic property of physics, is an informational impossibility. These 2 symmetries were developed and became a fixture of physics, starting with Newton and continuing with Einstein and Poincare. Mathematical models that assume these symmetries are essentially correct. However there are laws about informational processes that are unknown to contemporary physics. These new laws make it clear that at the most microscopic level of physics, both continuous translational and rotational symmetry must be violated. Further, continuous time symmetry must also be violated at the most microscopic level. Nevertheless it is still reasonable and convenient to make use of these continuous symmetries for all physical processes above the most microscopic levels. Someday it might make sense to look for the Kaon (K0) of the symmetries of translation and of angular orientation. Wouldn’t it be serendipitous if by looking more closely at K0 decay data, where CP symmetry is violated, one might see something of angular anisotropy? This would require doing a coordinate transformation on all the data to convert track orientations from laboratory angles and local time into right ascension and declination.
An implication of the 3rd and 4th Laws is that, without microscopically violating translational symmetry, the informational or computational task of dealing with digital representations of processes involving motion can only be accomplished by magic. There must be an absolute digital representation of velocity with respect to a single fixed metric in order to transform relative positions as objects move. The lack of such a microscopic fixed metric, or its computational equivalent, makes it a computational impossibility to create a system that obeys either Newton’s or Einstein’s concepts of relativity. DP recovers the principles of relativity because of perfect conservation of momentum and the variant of Noether’s Theorem.
