Light Velocity Anisotropy
19.02.2007
Russian Info Centre
A group of scientists from France, Russia, Italy and Armenia has performed an experiment in searching possible light velocity anisotropy (dependence of various properties on direction) in fixed coordinates, related to relict radiation, in the European centre of studying synchrotron radiation ESRF (Grenoble, France).
Scientists have studied so called Compton scattering of laser light on electron beam of electron accelerator with energies of 6 GeV. Previous experiments showed no signs of anisotropy, however, current experiment has positive results with validity of 10 standard deviations from background.
Such effects scientists explain by existence of hypothetic fields of vectors in space, which have certain directions. No constant errors were detected during the experiment, but, of course, new data need further independent verification.
Note: Above are excerpts from the article. The full article appears here. Clarifications and comments by me are contained in {}. Deletions are marked by [...]. The bold emphasis is mine.
