| contents | The spacetime short-distance structure at the Planck scale is governed by the Planck length, usually interpreted as a three-dimensional Euclidian length. As such, it is not Lorentz invariant and clashes with Einstein's special relativity, which is thus unable to describe the Planck scale kinematics. The solution to this problem is twofold. First, one has to re-interpret the Planck length as a Lorentz invariant four-dimensional pseudo-length. Second, to comply with a non-vanishing cosmological term~$Λ$, one has to replace the standard Poincaré-invariant special relativity with the de Sitter-invariant special relativity. Since the Planck pseudo-length does not clash with the de Sitter-invariant special relativity, it provides a consistent description of the Planck scale kinematics in the presence of~$Λ$. Under the above replacement, general relativity changes to the de Sitter-invariant general relativity, in which~$Λ$ is constitutive. In this paper, the ensuing Friedmann equations are derived, and some implications for cosmology are explored and discussed. |
