The three classical Lorentz-invariance tests (Michelson-Morley, Kennedy-Thorndike, and Ives-Stillwell) are second-order tests because the Lorentz-invariance-violating signal depends on w^2/c^2.
“The three classical LI tests are the Michelson-Morley, Kennedy-Thorndike, and Ives-Stillwell experiments [10]; they are second-order tests as the LI violating signal depends on w 2 =c 2 [13].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
