Carlos Castro Perelman is a theoretical and mathematical physicist known for developing the "Extended Relativity Theory in Clifford spaces" (C-space relativity). He is listed in The Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists.
Education and career
Castro Perelman received a B.S. in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1980 and a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Texas at Austin in 1991. He has been affiliated with Clark Atlanta University and with the Ronin Institute, and has published extensively, with articles appearing in journals including Classical and Quantum Gravity, Physics Letters B, Journal of Mathematical Physics, Foundations of Physics and the alternative-physics journal Progress in Physics.
Work
His main research areas are Extended Relativity in Clifford spaces and noncommutative geometry and number theory. In the Clifford-space (C-space) programme, developed in part with Matej Pavšič, the ordinary spacetime coordinates are extended to the full set of Clifford-algebra-valued coordinates (points, areas, volumes, and so on), which he argues leads to a maximal-acceleration relativity and to relations connecting different physical scales. He has also written on superluminal particles within extended relativity theories, and on links between nonlinear quantum mechanics, Weyl geometry and Fisher information.
With Martín López Corredoira he co-edited Against the Tide: A Critical Review by Scientists of How Physics and Astronomy Get Done (2008), a volume collecting critiques of mainstream research practice in physics and astronomy. Much of his work sits outside the accepted physical mainstream.
