The data base appears to be stable enough to allow us to make some definitive statements about the correlation of this data with principles and content of physics. We examine the constraints represented by this data in relationship to three major physics principles: Poincar6r(Lorentz) in- variance, analyticity (causality) and unitarity. We examine in detail some specific Lorentz invariant models as well as some quantum mechanical models, such as Bell's inequality, in relationship to the spaciil and temporal properties of this data. *Consultant to Stanford Research Institute II.E.
