Are rigid non-inertial frames of reference really rigid?

In this paper the notion of the rigid frame of reference within special relativity is analysed. Three definitions of rigidity are formulated. By using several examples of non-inertial frames, it is shown that these definitions are not equivalent. It is also shown that so called Möller rigid non-inertial frames are locally rigid, but do not exhibit global rigidity. The physical meaning of this phenomenon is discussed, as well as its relation to the non-Euclidean nature of space in non-inertial frames of reference. (russian version)

Fundamental Physical Constants and the Principle of Parametric Incompleteness

The principle which allows to construct new physical theories on the basis of classical mechanics by reduction of the number of its axiom without engaging new postulates is formulated. The arising incompleteness of theory manifests itself in terms of theoretically undefinable fundamental physical constants $\hbar$ and c. As an example we built up a parametric generalization of relativistic theory, where the Hubble Law and the dependence of light velocity on time are obtained.
