Gamma-ray study finds no violation of Lorentz invariance

Original: A rigorous re-examination of cosmic gamma-ray data has found no evidence of deviations from the established laws of Lore

A rigorous re-examination of cosmic gamma-ray observations has found no evidence that Lorentz invariance breaks down at high energies. Researchers applying unified statistical methods confirmed that the speed of light remains constant regardless of photon energy or direction, reinforcing Einstein's relativity and placing tighter limits on quantum-gravity models that predict energy-dependent light speeds.

Why now: New astrophysics results confirming a cornerstone of relativity are of broad interest to science readers and challenge speculative quantum-gravity theories
