摘要: At a time when we are all fully aware of the remarkable longevity Special Relativity, I review some recent advances in "beyond Relativity" research, attempting to make case that this field is reaching fair level maturity. briefly discuss both attempts set up systematic general searches departures from and more focused programmes which find their motivation certain key aspects quantum-gravity problem open issues for cosmology. For one hypothesis being considered literature, Planck-scale effects that, while inducing Special-relativistic laws, do not give rise loss equivalence among inertial observers, rather detailed self-contained introduction. also stress fact beyond-Special-Relativity research now developed with methodology ways resembles adopted Standard Model" particle-physics programme. argue rich tradition beyond-Standard-Model should be followed even closely, but differences will inevitably remain, reflecting between setting test theories "universal" /"frame" theory (Special Relativity) nonuniversal (the Model).
