| contents | Quantum nonlocality would naturally fit into a version of relativity with a preferred reference system. However, acceptance of this idea has traditionally required experimental evidence. Namely, detecting in laboratory a small angular dependence of the velocity of light correlated to the cosmic motion of the Earth. Here, we summarize a new theoretical framework where the tiny, irregular residuals observed so far, from Michelson-Morley to current experiments of laser interferometry, can indeed be understood in terms of the Earth motion in the Cosmic Microwave Background observed directly with satellites in space. Our results, challenging the usual null interpretation, emphasize the central role of 'ether-drift' experiments for Relativity, Cosmology and Quantum Physics. |
