Abstract
A test theory is described for special relativity theory, based on universal invariance rather than universal covariance. A feature of the theory is its use of ?collective time,? similar to that told by GPS clocks, from which all environmental effects are compensated out. A second-order crucial experiment employing the VLBI system is proposed, involving the precise measurement of stellar aberration.
