In this paper we aim to investigate a deformed relativistic dynamics well-known as Symmetrical Special Relativity (SSR) related to a cosmic background field that plays the role of a variable vacuum energy density associated to the temperature of the expanding universe with a cosmic inflation in its early time and an accelerated expansion for its very far future time. In this scenario, we show that the speed of light and an invariant minimum speed present an explicit dependence on the background temperature of the expanding universe. Although finding the speed of light in the early universe with very high temperature and also in the very old one with very low temperature, being respectively much larger and much smaller than its current value, our approach does not violate the postulate of Special Relativity (SR), which claims the speed of light is invariant in a kinematics point of view. Moreover, it is shown that the high value of the speed of light in the early universe was drastically decreased and increased respectively before the beginning of the inflationary period. So we are led to conclude that the theory of Varying Speed of Light (VSL) should be questioned as a possible solution of the horizon problem for the hot universe.

We show the relationship between the scalar kinematics potential of Symmetrical Special Relativity (SSR) and the ultra-referential of vacuum connected to an invariant minimum speed postulated by SSR. The property of the conformal metric of SSR is showed, from where we deduce a kind of de Sitter metric. The negative curvature of spacetime is calculated from the conformal property of the metric. Einstein equation provides an energy-momentum tensor which is proportional to SSR-metric. We also realize that SSR leads to a deformed kinematics with quantum aspects directly related to the delocalization of the particle and thus being connected to the uncertainty principle. We finish this work by identifying the lagrangian of SSR with the so-called tachyonic models (slow-roll), where the tachyonic potential is a function depending on the conformal factor, thus allowing the SSR-lagrangian to be able to mimic a tachyonic lagrangian related to the so-called Dirac-Born-Infeld lagrangian, where the superluminal effects are interpreted as being a large stretching of spacetime due to new relativistic effects close to the invariant minimum speed as being the foundation of the inflationary vacuum connected to a variable cosmological parameter that recovers the cosmological constant for the current universe.
This work presents an experimental test of Lorentz invariance violation in the infrared (IR) regime by means of an invariant minimum speed in the spacetime and its effects on the time when an atomic clock given by a certain radioactive single-atom (e.g.: isotope $Na^{25}$) is a thermometer for a ultracold gas like the dipolar gas $Na^{23}K^{40}$. So, according to a Deformed Special Relativity (DSR) so-called Symmetrical Special Relativity (SSR), where there emerges an invariant minimum speed $V$ in the subatomic world, one expects that the proper time of such a clock moving close to $V$ in thermal equilibrium with the ultracold gas is dilated with respect to the improper time given in lab, i.e., the proper time at ultracold systems elapses faster than the improper one for an observer in lab, thus leading to the so-called {it proper time dilation} so that the atomic decay rate of a ultracold radioactive sample (e.g: $Na^{25}$) becomes larger than the decay rate of the same sample at room temperature. This means a suppression of the half-life time of a radioactive sample thermalized with a ultracold cloud of dipolar gas to be investigated by NASA in the Cold Atom Lab (CAL).
This paper presents a compelling argument for the physical light speed in the Friedman-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) universe to vary with the cosmic time coordinate t of FLRW. It must be variable when the radial comoving differential coordinates of FLRW is interpreted as physical and therefore transformable by a Lorentz transform locally to differentials of stationary physical coordinates. Because the FLRW differential radial distance has a time varying coefficient a(t), integration of the transformed differentials to obtain stationary coordinates for a short radial distance requires the light speed c(t) to be proportional to the square root of da/dt. Since we assume homogeneity of space, this derived c(t) is the physical light speed on all points of the FLRW universe. This impacts the interpretation of all astronomical observations of distant phenomena that are sensitive to light speed. A world transform from FLRW that has a Minkowski metric close to the origin is shown to have a physical radius out to all points of the visible universe. In order to obtain numerical values for c(t), the general relativity (GR) field equation is extended by using a variable gravitational constant and rest mass that keeps constant the gravitational and particle rest energies. This also keeps constant the proportionality constant between the GR tensors of the field equation and conserves the rest stress-energy tensor of the ideal fluid used in the FLRW GR field equation. In the same way all of special and general relativity is extended to include a variable light speed.
A formulation of the one-way speed of light in three-dimensional Euclidean space is derived by a constructive approach. This formulation is consistent with the result of the Michelson-Morley experiment in that the harmonic mean of the outward and return speeds is equal to c, the standard value for the speed of electromagnetic radiation in vacuum. It is also shown that a shift in synchronization, proportional to the distance along the line of motion, renders this speed a constant along all directions.
The relationship between the harmonic mean and special relativity is concisely elucidated. The arguments in favor and against SRT are explored. It is shown that the ratio of the speed of light to the harmonic mean of the onward and return speeds of light in a moving frame under Newtonian mechanics, when equitably distributed between space and time as a correction, leads to the Lorentz transformation. This correction implies an apparent contraction of objects and time dilation. However, the symmetry of the onward and inverse transformations give a different meaning to the gamma factor
