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]

F1000Research, 2023
Background Tests of special relativity have been conducted over the past century with increasing accuracy and none have showed violations of Lorentz invariance.

The Simplicity of Disproving the Theory of Special Relativity

Science & Philosophy, 2022
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

Universe, 2022
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]

PLoS ONE, 2015
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.

Theory of Gravity Dependent on Entropy

Reports in Advances of Physical Sciences, 2023
Gravitational redshift decreases the resolution of measurements, causing entropy by increasing the possible microstates of position and momentum for objects within a gravitational field.

Relativity, anomalies and objectivity loophole in recent tests of local realism

Open Physics, 2017
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.

Problematic aspects of 20-th century antiparticles and their apparent resolution via isodual mathematics

Ratio Mathematica
In this paper, we recall Dirac’s negative energy antiparticles, their compatibility with particle-antiparticle annihilation into light, and their lack of compatibility with special relativity as well as causality laws.

Relativity concept inventory: Development, analysis, and results

Physical Review Special Topics. Physics Education Research, 2013
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 light speed versus the observer: the Kennedy–Thorndike test from GRAAL-ESRF

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2018
High precision tests of the light speed constancy for all observers as a empirical basis of Special Relativity have continuously been among the goals of advanced experimental studies.

General relativity: An erfc metric

Results in Physics, 2018
This paper proposes an erfc potential to incorporate in a symmetric metric. One key feature of this model is that it relies on the existence of an intrinsic physical constant σ, a star-specific proper length that scales all its surroundings.
