Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. The greatest scientific legacy that Albert Einstein left us is this: ...

The more crucial a physical law is, the more important it is to keep testing it. One of the most important laws formulated in the last century or so is Albert Einstein's principle of invariance, which ...

Where were we? Ah yes, spontaneous symmetry breaking. When some field takes on a nonzero value even in empty space, and that field is affected by some symmetry transformation, the resulting symmetry ...

The concept of Lorentz symmetry underpins much of contemporary physics, serving as a central pillar in both the Standard Model and general relativity. The Standard Model Extension (SME) is a ...

The Secretary of Energy explores atom interferometry tests, questioning their relevance to energy problems. Discover more about this fascinating research. What is the Secretary of Energy doing ...

The speed of light has been one of science’s most trusted markers of stability. For more than a century, the idea that light moves through space at a constant speed has supported some of physics’ most ...

Lorentz invariance is fundamental to the special theory of relativity and the Standard Model of particle physics. The principle of Lorentz invariance states that the result of an experiment is ...

RECENTLY, Lyttleton and Bondi 1 put forward the suggestion that the expansion of the universe is caused by the absolute values of the charges of the proton and electron not being equal, thereby giving ...

Considering the electromagnetic and scalar fields in gravity without Lorenz invariance (LI), a model of holographic superconductor is constructed in Horava-Lishitz gravity. The studies show that the ...

There’s an adage coined by [Ian Betteridge] that any headline ending in a question mark can be answered by the word “No”. However, Lorentz invariance – the theory that the same rules of physics apply ...
