More specifically, the team operating the LHC's Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector wanted to know if one of the rules upon which special relativity is built, called "Lorentz symmetry," always ...

At its heart is a concept called Lorentz symmetry: experimental results are independent of the orientation or the speed of the experiment with which they are taken. Special relativity has stood ...

In addition to his research on Lorentz symmetry, Michael Seifert is interested in the physics of music and sound, as well as the interface between physics and philosophy. He teaches Classical ...
