Part 8/11:
One striking example of this potential deviation is photon behavior. Traditionally, photons—massless bosons—cannot spontaneously create pairs of particles due to strict energy and momentum conservation laws. However, if we introduce the DSR adjustments and allow for a modified dispersion relation, it opens possibilities where such pair production might occur through previously impossible mechanisms.
To validate or challenge these concepts, laboratory and astrophysical observations speculate on high-energy phenomena. For instance, studying gamma-ray bursts can reveal insights into energy-dependent variations in photons—clues that could either affirm or deny theories of DSR and wave interference in energy states.
