Abstract

The present work aims to search for an implementation of a new symmetry in the spacetime by introducing the idea of an invariant minimum speed scale (V). Such a lowest limit V, being unattainable by the particles, represents a fundamental and preferred reference frame connected to a universal background field (a vacuum energy) that breaks Lorentz symmetry. So there emerges a new principle of symmetry in the spacetime at the subatomic level for very low energies close to the background frame (v ≈ V), providing a fundamental understanding for the uncertainty principle, i.e. the uncertainty relations should emerge from the spacetime with an invariant minimum speed.
