Abstract: Lorentz invariance belongs to the fundamental symmetries of nature. It is basic for the successful Standard Model of Particle Physics. Nevertheless, within the last decades, Lorentz invariance has been repeatedly questioned. In fact, there exist different research programs addressing this problem. It is argued that a most adequate understanding of a possible violation of Lorentz invariance is achieved in the framework of the gauge‐theoretic approach to gravity: a non‐vanishing nonmetricity of a metric‐affine geometry of spacetime heralds the violation of the Lorentz symmetry.
