Superluminal Transformations in Spacetimes of Definite Metric

History and Philosophy of Physics 2023-08-09 v1

Abstract

This paper reviews and extends an approach to superluminal kinematics set forth by R. Sutherland and J. Shepanski in 1986. This theory is characterized by a spacetime with positive definite metric, a Lorentz factor of the form 1/β211/\sqrt{\beta^2 - 1}, and real-valued proper times and proper lengths for superluminal reference frames.
