Abstract

An experiment to test Einstein's special relativir [Einstein, The Meaning of Relativity, 5th ed (Princeton UniversiOJ Press, 1956); H.A. Lorentz, A. Einstein, H. Minkowski, H. Weft, The Principle of Relativity, edited by HA. Lorentz (Oever, NE, 1923)] without involving ambiguities of the space-time concept and other theoretical bones of contention is proposed. It is an experiment well within present tedmoloy#. We also introduce an alternative theory of relativir [Phys. Essays 4, 68 (1991); 194; 532; 5, 159 (1992)], which is different from Einstein's special relativi(y, particularly on the foundational level, that is, the concept of space-time as well as the meaning of the relati~'tic transformation, and in its implications modifying classical force laws, for example, the electromagnetic force law. So far, no available experimental evidence can convincingly differentiate between Einstein's special relativi~ and the alternative theory. The proposed experimental test, however, will differentiate between these two theories of relativir
