A test theory of special relativity: II. First order tests

- Summary
- Metrics

Abstract

First-order tests of special relativity are based on a comparison of clocks synchronized with the help of slow clock transport with those synchronized by the Einstein procedure. This comparison enables the measurement of the one-way velocity of light and is equivalent to a measurement of the time dilatation factor. The accuracy of present measurements is of the order 10−7, yielding an upper limit of 3 cm/sec for the ether drift.
