Alan Kostelecký is a theoretical physicist who is today an outstanding professor of physics at Indiana University at Bloomington . He is known for his publications as part of the Extension of the Standard Model (General Relativity) in the field of particle physics . [1] He is considered the greatest authority in the field of violation of the symmetry of space-time in the world. [2]

Kosteletsky graduated from the Physics Department of the University of Bristol in 1977, and defended his thesis ( Phd. D. ) at Yale University in 1982. He has been a member of the faculty of Indiana University since 1985. [3]
In 1989, Kosteletsky and his colleagues demonstrated the existence of anisotropy in string theory models, and also proposed a new version of the standard model for elementary particles (taking into account the effects of general relativity), which today is called " Extension of the standard model ", [1] it categorizes various paths in whose symmetry of time-space can be broken. [4] [5] It should be noted that the "Extension of the standard model" has parameters that can be tailored to the needs of the model. [6] Today, this concept acts as a basis for classical tests of the theory of relativity . [3] The working hypothesis of Kosteletsky for possible time-space asymmetry for scales of 10 -35 m, which is essentially the length of the Planck scale . He received the support of several physicists from various industries, such as astrophysics and particle physics, to experimentally determine the presence of this asymmetry. [7]
Kosteletsky, together with Samuel Stewart, were the first to use the “Bumblibi model” in the theory of gravity, as the simplest one to study the consequences of spontaneous Lorentz symmetry breaking. [8] Kostelecki held a series of meetings on this issue ("Meetings on CPT and Lorentz Symmetry") at Indiana University. [9]
Kosteletsky became a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in 2006, the American Physical Society (APS) in 2004, and also a member of the English Institute of Physics in 2000. He led the APS committee for the Heineman Prize and Pipkin award in 2005. He received an award from Indiana University for his excellent student education in 1988 and 1992, as well as the Frederic Bachman Lieber Teaching Award in 1997, and the Gravity Research Foundation Award. twice: in 1993 and 2005 [3]
Counterversion
Indeed, in the late 1980s, “ string theory ” was very popular and fashionable. Despite the fact that Dayton Miller has long been forgotten, and his results regarding the "violation of the symmetry of space-time" (in fact, the "ether wind" around the Earth, was built (with Robert Shankland’s light hand) due to a trivial inaccuracy measuring equipment), however, with the advent of the experiments of Ronald De Witte (1991) [10] , who used the “atomic clock” to measure the delay of signals in radio-frequency cables, it became clear that the theory of relativity needed to be “saved”. Quite by accident, within the framework of the "string theory" a certain anisotropy arose, and therefore it was used to "save" even the general theory of relativity. The main opponent of Kosteletsky today is the Console Maurizio [11] (Italian physicist theorist). In the framework of his approach, the modern results obtained on interferometers with time control by atomic clocks are elementarily translated into the "Miller form", that is, the relative motion of the Earth in orbit around the Sun , and the movement of the Solar system around the center of the Galaxy .
