.... the zero point spectrum of QED is the only Lorentz
invariant spectrum.

"Indeed, as discussed in my paper, H. E. Puthoff, "Gravity as a
Zero-Point-Fluctuation Force," Phys. Rev. A 39, 2333 (1989); Phys. Rev A
47, 3454 (1993),"

 

"... Lorentz invariance, which derives specifically from the spectrum's
cubic dependence on frequency. The cubic spectrum is unique in its
property that delicate cancellations of Doppler shifts with velocity
boosts leaves the spectrum Lorentz invariant."

   Put a cutoff in that spectrum and you destroy Lorentz invariance.

"In principle, yes. However, as discussed in my footnote 21 in the
above paper, I point out:"

 
"The possible existence of a cutoff in quantum theory is recognized to
introduce a non-Lorentz-invariant factor, in that detection of a
Doppler-shifted cutoff frequency by a moving detector could in principle
reveal absolute motion. As pointed out in the literature, however, [for
example, by M. A. Shupe, Am. J. Phys. 53, 122 (1985)], as long as the
cutoff frequency is beyond detectability (as in the Planck frequency in
this case) there is no measurable consequence expected of such a
breakdown of Lorentz invariance at this limit of present physical
theory, either now or in the foreseeable future."

Cheers,

Right as far as SR is concerned. However as I show below GR demands a
breakdown of SR globally. Indeed, the problem of nonlocality of the
total energy in GR is related to this fact that

1. The symmetry group of SR (1905) with rest inertia m is the 10
parameter Poincare group.

2. The symmetry group of GR(1916) is the 10 parameter Diff(4)xLorentz Group

Diff(4) replaces the 4-parameter translation group T4 infinitesimally
generated by the TOTAL MOMENERGY (Wheeler) Pu.
that is T4 is locally gauged and the strain tensor of the elastic world
distortion field (~ tetrad field) is the metric field guv.
The tetrad field eu emerges from the macro-quantum phase variations of
the partially coherent physical vacuum according to the Bohm guidance
constraint

eu = Lp*^2(Phase of partial vacuum coherence),u

is elastic analog to quantum hydrodynamic particle IT velocity v =
(h/m)Grad(Phase of Pilot qu-BIT wave)

where, a, u = 0,1,2,3

eu = eaEu^a

a in flat tangent space, u in curved base space

guv = Eu^anabEv^b = (1/2)[eu,v + ev,u]

nab = SR metric

' is ordinary partial derivative

Phase transformations on the vacuum coherence ---> Einstein's tensor
general coordinate transformations

I seem to recall a detailed discussion of the Lorentz boosts of the
blackbody spectrum in Richard Tolman's old text on Statistical Mechanics
that I actually may have a copy of in my office. This relates to the
"aether" issue over which amateurs get confused. GR(1916) is a covering
theory of SR(1905), things globally true in SR are no longer so in GR.
SR is approximately locally true in GR provided:

1. scale of measurements L << scale of local tensor radii of curvature Rc

2. L >> Lp* = scale of micro-quantum metric and connection zero point
vacuum fluctuations.

Note Lp* may be a function of L and NOT a constant 10^-33 cm. Indeed in
my theory

Lp*(1 fermi) ~ 1fermi in order to stabilize the spatially-extended
electron as a Wheeler "Mass without mass" micro-geon = Bohm-Vigier
"extra variable."

This feature is largely missed in Wheeler 90th 'Science and Ultimate
Reality" BTW.

The WMAP observations show CMB black body spectrum isotropic to ~ 10^-5
angular correlations over entire celestial sphere relative to Hubble
flow of the dark energy accelerated expansion of 3D space of the Tegmark
"Level I" Hubble bubble universe we are inside of like E. Abbott's
Flatlanders on a Euclidean plane. My theory BTW explains Linde's chaotic
inflation dynamically.

A Lorentz boost on the CMB relative to the Hubble flow introduced
anisotropy in the CMB, which is an "absolute velocity" meter for star
ships just as measuring absolute Kelvin temperature of the CMB is an
absolute cosmological clock for those Masters and Commanders navigating
Her Majesty's Space Navy! ;-)

I think Jack is correct, the zero point spectrum of QED is the only
Lorentz invariant spectrum. Put a cutoff in that spectrum and you
destroy Lorentz invariance. Black body spectrum is not Lorentz
invariant except at zero temperature.

I think Puthoff has an argument related to that? Definitely as I recall
the EM ZPF spectrum is the only one consistent with local Lorentz
invariance as I recall off top of my head.

While it has been shown that the black-body distribution is
compatible with Lorentz invariance, I know of no proof that
that the full blackbody spectrum is a *necessary* condition
for such invariance.

This is an interesting question IMO.

We need to distinguish several issues:

1. Is a virtual photon ZPF cutoff actually observed in the lab? -
empirical question.
2. If yes, does that imply a new experimental effect of anisotropy in
Lamb shift radiation as observed perhaps in angular correlation
measurements on such radiation? - empirical question.
3.What is the value of the cutoff if it exists? - empirical question
4. If a virtual photon cutoff is a fact, is this evidence for
non-commuting space-time? theoretical question
