Abstract
We present the idea that a reasonable explanation for dark matter and dark energy can
be obtained from the reparametrization symmetry of the action integral that describes a scalar
relativistic particle.
Keywords
Dark matter; dark energy; reparameterization invariance; relativistic particles.
