Hoek type interferometer breaks Lorentz symmetry

Descripción

A 150 years old interferometer conceived by Martin Hoek indirectly detects the anisotropy of the speed of light in the moving frame of the apparatus breaking Lorentz symmetry. The apparatus is a common path interferometer but with a different index of refraction on each branch which generates an asymmetry between time of travel on each direction when apparatus is in motion. It clearly distinguish between canonical use of Lorentz " space contraction " and the " flow of aether " of Lorentz original Aether Theory. More yet, the phase shift corresponding to a certain velocity of the frame of apparatus is orders of magnitude greater than that produced by symmetric setups such as Michelson interferometer and Fizeau's interferometer ​ [1]​ .
