Submarine Telescope Tests Einstein's Relativity in Mediterranean

  • A particle-detecting telescope named ORCA was submerged 1.5 miles under the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of France.
  • The experiment aimed to test a core principle of Einstein's theory of relativity, specifically Lorentz invariance.
  • Researchers from the KM3NeT collaboration analyzed data from 5,828 cosmic events to conduct the test.
  • The findings indicated that Einstein's relativity held true under these conditions, with no observed discrepancies.
  • The ORCA detector is part of ongoing efforts to explore fundamental physics principles.
