Abstract: High-energy end of the cosmic-ray spectrum has provided us to check a validity of the Lorentz Invariance and the Relativity principle, through the observation of the so-called GZK cut-off. It is claimed in this report that the comoving reference frame in the expanding universe might define the preferable inertia frame, in contradiction to the relativity principle. If the present universe has been permeated by tensor fields in a manner like it has been done by Higgs scalar field, the limiting particle velocity of each species splits to different values depending on the coupling coefficients to these external fields.
