    Ritz’s ballistic theory of light, the models of electromagnetic mass created by Abraham (1902), Lorentz (1904), Bucherer (1904) and Langevin (1904). This list also mentions the origins of standard notation (like c) and terminology (like theory of relavity).

  3. Modern searches for Lorentz violation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_searches_for...

    Measurements on light from gamma-ray bursts show that the speed of light does not vary with energy. Modern searches for Lorentz violation are scientific studies that look for deviations from Lorentz invariance or symmetry, a set of fundamental frameworks that underpin modern science and fundamental physics in particular.

    If neutrino and light speed were the same, a subtraction value of 1043.4 nanoseconds should have been obtained for the correction. However, the actual subtraction value amounted to only 985.6 nanoseconds, corresponding to an arrival time 57.8 nanoseconds earlier than expected.

  6. Relativity priority dispute - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativity_priority_dispute

    To fill this gap, I introduced the principle of the constancy of the velocity of light, which I borrowed from H. A. Lorentz's theory of the stationary luminiferous ether, and which, like the principle of relativity, contains a physical assumption that seemed to be justified only by the relevant experiments (experiments by Fizeau, Rowland, etc ...

  7. Adds resin to the known list of "electrics". 1675 – Isaac Newton delivers his theory of light; 1676 – Ole Rømer proves that speed of light is finite, by observing Jupiter's moons; 1678 – Christiaan Huygens states his principle of wavefront sources and demonstrates the refraction and diffraction of light rays.

  8. List of unsolved problems in astronomy - Wikipedia

    Why is the distant universe so homogeneous when the Big Bang theory seems to predict larger measurable anisotropies of the night sky than those observed? Cosmological inflation is generally accepted as the solution, but are other possible explanations such as a variable speed of light more appropriate? [31]

    1010 – Ibn al-Haytham (Alhazen): Optics, finite speed of light; c. 1030 – Ibn Sina : Concept of force; c. 1050 – al-Biruni: Speed of light is much larger than speed of sound; c. 1100 – Al-Baghdadi: Theory of motion with distinction between velocity and acceleration [7]
