Spatial Directions, Anisotropy and Special Relativity [PDF]
The concept of an objective spatial direction in special relativity is investigated and theories assuming light-speed isotropy while accepting the existence of a privileged spatial direction are classified.

Probing The Structure of Space-Time with Cosmic Rays [PDF]
The study of the interactions of Cosmic Rays (CR's) with universal diffuse background radiation can provide very stringent tests of the validity of Special Relativity.

Current and Future Tests of General Relativity
General Relativity (GR) holds a special place amongst all fundamental theories of physics: on one hand, it is the theory of all gravitational phenomena; on the other hand, it is also a theory of spacetime [...]

A note on light velocity anisotropy [PDF]
It is proved that in experiments on or near the Earth, no anisotropy in the one-way velocity of light may be detected. The very accurate experiments which have been performed to detect such an effect are to be considered significant tests of both special

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

The light speed versus the observer: the Kennedy–Thorndike test from GRAAL-ESRF
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.

Physics Opportunities Above the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin Cutoff: Lorentz Symmetry Violation at the Planck Scale [PDF]
Special relativity has been tested at low energy with great accuracy, but these results cannot be extrapolated to very high-energy phenomena: this new domain of physics may actually provide the key to the, yet unsettled, question of the ether and the ...

The Special Theory of Relativity applies where gravitation is insignificant. There are many observations that remain poorly explained by the standard models of either the big of cosmology or the small of Quantum mechanics.

General relativity: An erfc metric
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.

General Very Special Relativity is Finsler Geometry [PDF]
We ask whether Cohen and Glashow's Very Special Relativity model for Lorentz violation might be modified, perhaps by quantum corrections, possibly producing a curved spacetime with a cosmological constant.
