This seems very strange to me. In order to quantize speed, you would have to quantize the speed of an allowable reference frame...

you've got it Njorl
the speeds of allowable observers relative to each other are quantized in their proposal. they explicitly say this in the paper as I recall
so the example you mentioned of adjusting a frame to move by "half" a quantum does not come up

Another interesting affect of Livine's new paper is the effects quantizised speed has when Cosm. const. is big (as it were in the early phases of big bang). His paper proclaims that speed then only could have a few certain values, something that has a great impact on the structure of the universe.
It would be great if someone could reply to this.

If the theory is accepted and furthermore taken in account in today's other big bang theories, I believe it'll have a great impact.

The cosmological constant is a term in Einstein's theory of general relativity that represents the energy density of empty space. It is also known as dark energy and is thought to be responsible for the accelerated expansion of the universe.
The cosmological constant affects quantizing speeds by modifying the equations of general relativity, which in turn affects the behavior of particles and speeds in the universe. This can lead to changes in the quantization of speeds and other physical phenomena.
Quantizing speeds with the cosmological constant is important because it allows us to better understand the behavior of particles and speeds in the universe, and how it is affected by the cosmological constant and other cosmological factors. It can also help us make predictions about the evolution of the universe.
Yes, there have been several experiments and observations that support the concept of quantizing speeds with the cosmological constant. These include measurements of the cosmic microwave background radiation, the expansion of the universe, and the behavior of particles in high-energy collisions.
Yes, the concept of quantizing speeds with the cosmological constant can be applied to other areas of physics, such as quantum mechanics and particle physics. It can also be used to study the behavior of speeds in other cosmological models and theories.
