Description

An extension of the theory of General Relativity is proposed, based on pseudo-complex space-time coordinates. The new theory corresponds to the introduction of two, in general different, metrics which are connected through specific conditions. A pseudo-complex Schwarzschild solution is constructed, which does not suffer any more by a singularity. The solution indicates a minimal radius for a heavy mass object. Consequences for the redshift and possible signatures for its observation are discussed. (author)
