Recent Experimental Tests of Special Relativity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
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. The MM-KT experiment compares a cryogenic microwave resonator to a hydrogen maser, and has set the most stringent ...

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

open access: yesOpen 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.

Relativity concept inventory: Development, analysis, and results

open access: yesPhysical 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.

More tests of special relativity [PDF]

open access: bronzeNature, 1986
Yet another experiment has provided a novel test of special relativity, one that duplicates in the laboratory phenomena for which people usually look to astrophysics.

Test problems in mechanics and special relativity

open access: green, 2006
These test problems were used by the author as weekly control works for the first year physics students at Novosibirsk State University in 2005. Solutions of the problems are also given. The problems were taken from or inspired by the sources listed at the end.

Testing Special Relativity With an Infinite Arm Interferometer [PDF]

open access: green, 2023
The Michelson-Morley experiment and its resolution by the special theory of relativity form a foundational truth in modern physics. In this paper we propose an equivalent experiment involving a relativistic interferometer having infinite arms. Curiously, we find that lorentz contraction and time dilation are absent in our experiment leading to a ...

Possible experiments to test Einstein's Special Relativity Theory [PDF]

open access: greenJournal of Computational Methods in Sciences and Engineering, 2013
All of the experiments supporting Einstein's Special Relativity Theory are also supportive of the Lorentz ether theory, or many other ether theories. However, a growing number of experiments show deviations from Einstein's Special Relativity Theory, but are supporting more extended theories.
