So what I've been thinking about is how Lorentz Invariance was never proven, it was only assumed to be true. And when I think about the Universe, nothing is actually truly in an inertial reference frame. Everything is accelerating at relativistic speeds, including Earth. Doesn't that mean that no matter how many observations we make, we will always be blind to Lorentz violations that only happen at low speeds?
And if Lorentz Invariance doesn't hold, then one of the three assumptions that CPT symmetry relies on is broken and CPT violation is possible.
