Possible Abnormality In Fundamental Building Block Of Einstein’s Theory Of Relativity<\/a><\/p>\n

Physicists at Indiana University have developed a promising new way to identify a possible abnormality in a fundamental building block of Einstein’s theory of relativity known as “Lorentz invariance.” If confirmed, the abnormality would disprove the basic tenet that the laws of physics remain the same for any two objects traveling at a constant speed or rotated relative to one another.

\nThe new violations change the gravitational properties of objects depending on their motion and composition. Objects on the Earth are always moving differently in different seasons because the Earth revolves around the Sun, so apples could fall faster in some seasons than others. Also, different objects like apples and oranges may fall differently.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I find it amusing that there are a bunch of relativity cranks who claim that relativity is treated as dogma. The reality is that it isn’t all that hard to find scientists devising tests of relativity of various sorts, whether it’s testing the predictions of GR or checking for anomalies such as this.<\/p>\n

Of course, thus far whenever someone has devised a clever test like this, we’ve found that relativity is correct.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
