A Lorentz variant theory that passes fundamental tests of special relativity and makes diverging, testable but as of yet untested predictions [version 2; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]
Background Tests of special relativity have been conducted over the past century with increasing accuracy and none have showed violations of Lorentz invariance.

Relativity, anomalies and objectivity loophole in recent tests of local realism
Local realism is in conflict with special quantum Bell-type models. Recently, several experiments have demonstrated violation of local realism if we trust their setup assuming special relativity valid.

Remarks on neutrino tests of special relativity [PDF]
We point out that the assumption of Lorentz noninvariance examined recently by Coleman and Glashow leads to neutrino flavor oscillations which are phenomenologically equivalent to those obtained by assuming the neutrinos violate the principle of ...

Recent Experimental Tests of Special Relativity [PDF]
We review our recent Michelson-Morley (MM) and Kennedy-Thorndike (KT) experiment, which tests Lorentz invariance in the photon sector, and report first results of our ongoing atomic clock test of Lorentz invariance in the matter sector.

Relativity concept inventory: Development, analysis, and results
We report on a concept inventory for special relativity: the development process, data analysis methods, and results from an introductory relativity class. The Relativity Concept Inventory tests understanding of relativistic concepts.

The Simplicity of Disproving the Theory of Special Relativity
Einstein’s theory of Special relativity is founded on an error made by Hendrick Lorentz. It is not necessary to expose the mathematical inconsistencies of special relativity, since the theory collapses by simply exposing the error made by Lorentz.

Lorentz Symmetry Violation of Cosmic Photons
As a basic symmetry of space-time, Lorentz symmetry has played important roles in various fields of physics, and it is a glamorous question whether Lorentz symmetry breaks.

Sine-Gordon Equation in (1+2) and (1+3) dimensions: Existence and Classification of Traveling-Wave Solutions. [PDF]
The (1+1)-dimensional Sine-Gordon equation passes integrability tests commonly applied to nonlinear evolution equations. Its kink solutions (one-dimensional fronts) are obtained by a Hirota algorithm.
