Scientific paper

The Segal chronometric theory (1976, 1979, 1980) is examined, with particular attention given to the role of a physical measurement in the theory. A calculation of the redshift in Segal's theory in the geometrical-optics limit yields the result z = 0, in contradiction to Segal's result z = tan2(alpha/2), and the disagreement is shown to arise from the unphysical nature of Segal's theory of measurement. An argument is also presented to show that the postulates on which Segal's theory is based are inconsistent when massive particles are introduced into the Segal universe.
