Abstract
The apparent violation of causality in the brane Universe can be avoided by taking the bulk spacetime modelled by a 5-dimensional Kaluza theory with factorizable ansatz for the 5-dimensional metric whose components do not depend on the fifth coordinate and with not a constant. The geodesic in the bulk does not correspond to a free particle. The Kaluza scalar makes it non-inertial. The implication on the neutrino experiment is that there is no superluminal propagation even after invoking sterile neutrinos.
