Foundations of Physics is a journal devoted to the "conceptual bases and fundamental theories of modern physics".^[1]

Foundations of Physics has been published since 1970. Its founding editors were Henry Margenau and Wolfgang Yourgrau.^[2] In January 2007, the 1999 Nobel laureate Gerard 't Hooft became the editor-in-chief. At that stage the associated journal for shorter submissions Foundations of Physics Letters, founded in 1988, was incorporated into it. Past editorial board members (which include several Nobel laureates) include Louis de Broglie, Robert H. Dicke, Murray Gell-Mann, Abdus Salam, Ilya Prigogine and Nathan Rosen.

[edit] Subjects covered in journal

The journal publishes results and observations based on fundamental questions from all fields of physics, including: quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, special relativity, general relativity, string theory, M-theory, cosmology, thermodynamics and statistical physics, quantum gravity

The journal is notable for having published, as fact, claims that the forces of electromagnetism and gravity propagate billions of times faster than light, that the curved space-time interpretation of general relativity has been conclusively falsified by experiment, that Einstein's theory of special relativity has been conclusively falsified by experiment, and that all objections to these assertions have been fully and satisfactorily answered.^[3]
