Scientists confirmed Einstein's relativity by testing top quarks at the Large Hadron Collider, finding no anomalies.

Researchers at the Large Hadron Collider tested if top quarks, the heaviest known particles, follow Einstein's special relativity. They checked for any changes in top quark production rates due to Earth's rotation, which could hint at a violation of Lorentz symmetry—a key part of relativity. Finding no such changes, they confirmed Einstein's theory and set the stage for future studies on Lorentz symmetry with other heavy particles like the Higgs boson.
