Physicists at Indiana University have developed a promising new way to identify a possible abnormality in a fundamental building block of Einstein's theory of relativity known as "Lorentz invariance."

Physicists working to disprove "Lorentz invariance" -- Einstein's prediction that matter and massless particles will behave the same no matter how they're turned or how fast they go -- won't get that satisfaction from muon neutrinos, at least for the time being, says a consortium of scientists.

Einstein’s self-proclaimed “biggest blunder” – his postulation of a cosmological constant (a force that opposes gravity and keeps the universe from collapsing) – may not be such a blunder after all, according to the research of an international team of scientists that includes two Texas A&M University researchers.
