Description
Lorentz symmetry is a cornerstone of modern physics. As the spacetime symmetry of special
relativity, Lorentz invariance is a basic component of the standard model of particle physics and
general relativity, which to date constitute our most successful descriptions of nature. Deviations
from exact symmetry would radically change our view of the universe and current experiments allow us
to test the validity of this assumption. In this talk, I will describe how we can use high-energy
neutrinos and photons to search for deviations from exact Lorentz invariance. I will also present
the worldwide program on experimental searches for signals of the violation of Lorentz invariance.
