Abstract

The present paper defines "covariant ether theories" as all space-time theories that are alternative to special relativity theory (SRT), but nevertheless satisfy the general relativity principle. A general analysis of the properties of admissible space-time transformations shows that the number of such "covariant ether theories" is infinite, and that all these theories are indistinguishable from SRT with all experiments in space-time physics reported to date.
