On experiments to detect possible failures of relativity theory

Description
Two recently proposed experiments by Kolen and Torr, designed to show failures of Einstein's Special Relativity (SR) are analysed. It is pointed out that these papers contain a number of imprecisions and misconceptions which are cleared out. Also the very spread misconception about anysotropy of propagation of light in vacuum in Lorentz Aether Theory (LAT) is analysed showing that the anysotropy is only a coordinate effect. Comparison of the correct results in LAT theory, leading to violation of SR, with new theoretical and experimental results of Torr et al is made. Some of these new results are shown to be incorrect and/or inconsistent with both SR and LAT. (Author)

Analizam-se duas experiencias recentemente propostas por Kolen e Torr, designadas para mostrar falhas da Relatividade Especial e Einsten (RE). Friza-se que esses trabalhos contem um numero de imprecisoes e confusoes que sao clarificadas. Analisa-se tambem a confusao muito difundida sobre a anisotropia da propagacao da luz no vacuo na Teoria do Eter de Lorentz (TEL) mostrando que a anisotropia e somente um efeito de coordenada. Faz-se a comparacao dos resultados corretos na TEL, levando a violacao de Re, com novos resultados teoricos e experimentais de Torr e colaboradores. Mostram-se que alguns desses novos resultados sao incorretos e/ou inconsistentes tanto com TEL quanto com RE. (L.C.)Files
