Improved laser test of the isotropy of space
A. Brillet,John L. Hall +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used laser frequency-locking techniques to obtain an extremely sensitive readout of the length of a stable "etalon of length" of a given length.
Journal ArticleDOI
Einstein and the History of General Relativity
TL;DR: In this paper, a collection of essays by the authors and other people that deal with scientific opinions that led Einstein and his contemporaries to their views of general relativity is presented, which explores the passage from the special theory through a sequence of gravitational theories to the discovery of the field equations of the grand theory in November 1915.
Journal ArticleDOI
Locality Hypothesis and the Speed of Light
TL;DR: The locality hypothesis is generally considered necessary for the study of the kinematics of non-inertial systems in special relativity as discussed by the authors, and it is shown that the locality hypothesis can be improved in order to get a more clear understanding of the various concepts involved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rigid covariance, equivalence principle and Fermi rigid coordinates:gravitational waves
TL;DR: For a given space-time and for an arbitrary time-like geodesic, this article analyzed the conditions for the construction of Fermi coordinates so that they are also rigid covariant.

Tests of Lorentz invariance using a microwave resonator.
TL;DR: The frequencies of a cryogenic sapphire oscillator and a hydrogen maser are compared to set new constraints on a possible violation of Lorentz invariance and determine the variation of the oscillator frequency as a function of its orientation and of its velocity with respect to a preferred frame candidate.
Journal ArticleDOI
New limit on signals of Lorentz violation in electrodynamics.
TL;DR: An experiment to test for spacetime anisotropy terms that might exist from Lorentz violations puts a comparable bound on four linear combinations of parameters in the general standard model extension, and a weaker bound of < 4 x 10(-9) on three others.
