Abstract
The root of the divergence problem in the current quantum field theory seems to be in the special theory of relativity. Here we propose a modified special relativity theory by introducing the primed inertial coordinate system, in addition to the usual inertial coordinate system, for each inertial frame of reference, assuming the flat structures of gravity-free space and time in the primed inertial coordinate system and their generalized Finslerian structures in the usual inertial coordinate system, and combining this assumption with the two fundamental postulates, (i) the principle of relativity and (ii) the constancy of the one-way speed of light in all inertial frames of reference. The modified special relativity theory involves two versions of the light speed, infinite speed c-prime in the primed inertial coordinate system and finite speed c in the usual inertial coordinate system. The physical principle is: the c-prime-type Galilean invariance in the primed inertial coordinate system plus the transformation from the primed to the usual inertial coordinate systems. The modified special relativity theory and the quantum mechanics theory together found a convergent and invariant quantum field theory.
