Since the main open problem of contemporary physics is to find a unified description of the four interactions, we present a possible scenario which, till now only at the classical level, is able to englobe experiments ranging from experimental space gravitation to atomic and particle physics. After a reformulation of special relativistic physics in a form taking into account the non-dynamical chrono-geometrical structure of Minkowski space-time (parametrized Minkowski theories and rest-frame…
