Relativity without Space-Time — •Albrecht Giese — Taxusweg 15, 22605 Hamburg

Present-day physics is governed by two fundamental misconceptions:

1. Relativity is allegedly caused by the properties of space-time

2. Elementary particles are assumed to be point-like, having no internal structure.

By deviating from these assumptions we can correctly reconstruct the results of present-day physics from an adapted model; and in addition we are able to find answers to unsolved problems.

In the announced talk about relativity we will show that relativity can be based on properties of fields and on the structure of particles. The benefits of this approach are:

- The calculations are much simpler than those using space-time

- The results are identical to those of Einstein with respect to experimental findings - including those of General Relativity

- Unresolved issues such as Dark Matter, Dark Energy and Quantum Gravity can be answered

- We gain additional insights in other areas of physics, e.g. particle physics.
