Abstract:Lorentz symmetry, a cardinal element of the special theory of relativity, is incorporated to the basic structure of modern physics whicb, in part, attempts the unification of gravity and quantum mechanics. The violation of such symmetry would bring about transcendental consequences. Tbe effect of Lorentz transformations on a spberica! wave front is presented bere. The observer assumed to be in uniform movement would also perceive a spherical wave front. It is shown that the image seen by this observer tums out… Show more
