The issues explored in these papers include: (1) formulations of relativity theories in which the speed of light is not a universal constant but which are consistent with the four-dimensional symmetry of the Lorentz and Poincaré groups and with experimental results, (2) analyses and discussions by Reichenbach concerning the concepts of simultaneity and physical time from a philosophical point of view, and (3) results achieved by the unionAdvanced series on theoretical physical science ;v. 8.Symmetry (Physics)Relativity (Physics)Symmetry (Physics)Relativity (Physics)530.1Hsu J.
