Tests of Special Relativity

to Dr Santini: My remark on special relativity having been tested rigorously was written eight years ago, before ECE2 was developed. I always encourage discussion and thank you for your comments. “I dislike arguments of any kind, they are always vulgar and often convincing” (the dogmatists of Oscar Wilde). The tests of what used to be called special relativity are well known, which does not mean that they are right, but unlike general relativity some of them are very precise, for example the weak equivalence principle and the Sagnac effect to one part in ten power twenty or more. Time dilation has been tested many times by recent experiments (one part in ten power eight at least) and particle accelerator design depends on special relativity. The Maxwell Heaviside equations are equations of what used to be called special relativity, and work in many ways, but are modified by ECE. The…
