Measuring the space-time intervals in fundamental physics
Alexandre S. Shcherbakov · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1999
The procedure of factoring the square of space-time interval is proposed and briefly discussed in connection with the problems of precise field measurements in fundamental physics. The approach under proposal leads to the appearance of both partial amplitude and partial phase characteristics, describing the space-time intervals. Starting from experimentally established invariant parameters, the analysis of properties inherent in the space-time intervals allows one to reveal the interference of partial amplitude, as well as the origin of nodal filaments, conditioned by the nonintegrability of partial phases.
