01 Jan 1987TL;DR: In the case of the introduction of special relativity in Great Britain, Stanley Goldberg as discussed by the authors carried out some studies assigning a prominent role to the ether concept, and one of the consequences of that situation was that the acceptance [of special relativity] hinged upon making it compatible with the concept of the ether.
Abstract: One of the main purposes of any historical study dealing with the introduction of a new theory in a given scientific community is the identification of its principal characteristics; that is, of the common traits of such introduction. In the case of the introduction of special relativity in Great Britain, Stanley Goldberg1 carried out some studies assigning a prominent role to the ether concept. According to him there was widespread acceptance of the ether concept among British physicists during the nineteenth century and the first decades of the twentieth. One of the consequences of that situation was that “the acceptance [of special relativity] hinged upon making it compatible with the concept of the ether. As paradoxical as that might be, there was almost unanimous agreement within the British physics community about such a prograrn”.2

TL;DR: In this paper, a very special relativity (VSR)-inspired description of the axion electrodynamics is proposed based upon the construction of a proper study of the SIM(2)-VSR gauge-symmetry.

TL;DR: In this paper, the regular multiwormhole solutions to the five-dimensional vacuum Einstein equations, previously obtained, are generalized to massive solutions, interpreted as systems of extended particles, and they are shown to be stable.
