Victor P. Starr’s formulations indicate that each and every limited spacetime domain has its own unique limiting phase velocity, which subscribes to all the rules of Special Relativity. The speed of light, therefore, is m-valued (the recent speed of light experiment, apparently demonstrating that light travels faster than light, which has received so much publicity, has gone some distance in demonstrating this thesis). It could be said that each nested relativistic limited spacetime domain has its own “light”. Lorentz-Fitzgerald contraction is an indication that as time slows down as the speed of light is approached, the length of the moving entity shortens in the direction of movement. Space itself, a relative “somewhat”, loses a FRACTION of a dimension in the direction of movement as the limiting phase velocity of the given relativistic limited spacetime domain is approached. Thus, by implication of Starr’s formulation, the speed of light is m-valued and this m-valuedness is related to fractal dimensions. Space undergoes topological transformations at limiting velocities, limiting accelerations, and limiting time rates of change of acceleration. Axes of rotation are tilted evermore into imaginary fractal dimensions as first, second, and third-order limiting values of dynamic variables are reached relative to the given relativistic limited spacetime domain. The speed of light, you say? Which light? Light of the Earth’s atmosphere? Lights of the various types of biological cells? One question metascience will focus upon is the relation of these various lights to the traditional notion of the electromagnetic spectrum, to waveforms, intensities, frequency windows, and to the establishment of spacetime lamination and modularity.
