Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. The greatest scientific legacy that Albert Einstein left us is this: ...

The more crucial a physical law is, the more important it is to keep testing it. One of the most important laws formulated in the last century or so is Albert Einstein's principle of invariance, which ...

The concept of Lorentz symmetry underpins much of contemporary physics, serving as a central pillar in both the Standard Model and general relativity. The Standard Model Extension (SME) is a ...

(Phys.org)—The laws of physics are the same no matter which direction you're facing or how fast you're moving—it's such an intuitive concept that most people probably don't know that it has a name: ...

Where were we? Ah yes, spontaneous symmetry breaking. When some field takes on a nonzero value even in empty space, and that field is affected by some symmetry transformation, the resulting symmetry ...

Lorentz invariance is fundamental to the special theory of relativity and the Standard Model of particle physics. The principle of Lorentz invariance states that the result of an experiment is ...

A new generation of super accurate clocks are proving that Einstein’s idea that time is not absolute is correct. This is not great news for anyone looking for a unifying theory for everything from ...
