In Volume 26, Number 6, November 2005 issue of European Journal of Physics, there is a special section dedicated to "Einstein and a Century of Time". There are several papers that discuss the historical issues of Einstein's work in SR and GR, and beyond...

These papers are available FREE for the first 30 days they appear online. So go to the IoP electronic journals website if you want a copy of these papers.

Thanks for the heads-up.

http://www.iop.org/EJ/toc/-ff30=all/-ffissn=0143-0807

seems to be the right link to the iop page for grabbing these articles.

ps - looks like you have to register - interestingly enough, someone else has already registered the account for "pervect".

Since the journals are going to go POOF any day now, I will wait to add this to the list of experimental evidence for SR that I already have. But I will post the latest of a series of experimental results here.

Test of the Isotropy of the Speed of Light Using a Continuously Rotating Optical Resonator

S. Herrmann et al., PRL v.95, p.150401 (2005).

They have produced even a more stringent ceiling of the isotropy violation parameter from the Robertson-Mansouri-Sexl "test theory" to (-2.1±1.9)×10-10, an 8-fold improvement!

Thread 'Can this experiment break Lorentz symmetry?'
1. The Big Idea: According to Einstein’s relativity, all motion is relative. You can’t tell if you’re moving at a constant velocity without looking outside. But what if there is a universal “rest frame” (like the old idea of the “ether”)? This experiment tries to find out by looking for tiny, directional differences in how objects move inside a sealed box. 2. How It Works: The Two-Stage Process Imagine a perfectly isolated spacecraft (our lab) moving through space at some unknown speed V...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. The Relativator was sold by (as printed) Atomic Laboratories, Inc. 3086 Claremont Ave, Berkeley 5, California , which seems to be a division of Cenco Instruments (Central Scientific Company)...

In Philippe G. Ciarlet's book 'An introduction to differential geometry', He gives the integrability conditions of the differential equations like this: $$ \partial_{i} F_{lj}=L^p_{ij} F_{lp},\,\,\,F_{ij}(x_0)=F^0_{ij}. $$ The integrability conditions for the existence of a global solution ##F_{lj}## is: $$ R^i_{jkl}\equiv\partial_k L^i_{jl}-\partial_l L^i_{jk}+L^h_{jl} L^i_{hk}-L^h_{jk} L^i_{hl}=0 $$ Then from the equation: $$\nabla_b e_a= \Gamma^c_{ab} e_c$$ Using cartesian basis ## e_I...
