Abstract:Several theoretical arguments indicate that space-time may have the fundamental stochastic nature of a turbulent fluid. This view, where Lorentz symmetry represents an emergent phenomenon, has phenomenological implications for those 'ether-drift' experiments that look for the possible existence of a preferred reference frame. In fact, numerical simulations show that, in present experiments with vacuum optical resonators, it becomes non trivial to understand if an irregular instantaneous signal is just spurious… Show more
