"The experiment provides a particularly useful new datum, says Alan
Kostelecky, a physicist at Indiana University, Bloomington, who
developed the theory that aims to incorporate all possible violations
of special relativity. Known as the Standard-Model Extension, the
theory contains 19 parameters, or "coefficients," that allow for
wiggle room. "They have placed an improved bound on a coefficient that
is particularly difficult to measure," Kostelecky says. Any theories
that move beyond special relativity would have to agree with special
relativity to within this very tight margin. So, to improve their
credibility, the crackpots should start their manuscripts with,
"Einstein was not quite right."

I think Lee Smolin, John Stachel, string theorists and all other
Beyond-Einsteinians or The-Other-Einsteinians should take notice of
what Alan Kostelecky says.
