In principle, a network can transfer data at nearly the speed of light. Today's Internet, however, is much slower: our measurements show that latencies are typically more than one, and often more than two orders of magnitude larger than the…
The paper elucidates the physical basis of experimental results on superluminal signal velocity. It will be made plausible that superluminal signals do not violate the principle of causality but they can shorten the luminal vacuum time span…
Olum (PRL 81 3567-3570, 1998) has defined "superluminality" as the ability of a signal path to carry information faster than any neighbouring signal path, and has suggested that this requires a negative energy-density. However, this…
LiFi is a networked wireless communication technology transforming solid-state indoor lighting into a backbone for information. The technology has reached maturity, with the first LiFi LED luminaire commercialized in 2016. Real life…
A comment on a recent Letter on the information capacity of nonlinear channels.
Various experiments have shown superluminal group and signal velocities recently. Experiments were essentials carried out with microwave tunnelling, with frustrated total internal reflection, and with gain-assisted anomalous dispersion.…
Solitons in space-time capable of transporting time-like observers at superluminal speeds have long been tied to violations of the weak, strong, and dominant energy conditions of general relativity. This trend was recently broken by a new…
The invariance of the speed of light implies a series of consequences related to our perception of simultaneity and of time itself. Whilst these consequences are experimentally well studied for subluminal speeds, the kinematics of…
Paw{\l}owski and Winter's hyperbit theory, proposed in 2012, presented itself as an alternative to quantum theory, suggesting novel ways of redefining entanglement and classical communication paradigms. This research undertakes a meticulous…
There is an urgent reflection on traditional nonlinear signal processing methods in communications before Artificial Intelligence (AI) dominates the field. It implies a need to reassess or reinterpret established theories and tools,…
Semantic communication, emerging as a promising paradigm for data transmission, offers an innovative departure from the constraints of Shannon theory, heralding significant advancements in future communication technologies. Despite the…
Hyperloop is a sonic-speed train transporting passengers and freights in a vacuum tube without friction or air resistance. Two essential communications in such vehicles are central control connection and real-time dispatching, also an…

We argue that the result quoted by the OPERA Collaboration cannot be interpreted as simply related to the muon neutrino moving at a superluminal velocity from the point of creation at CERN to the point of interaction at LNGS.
The OPERA Collaboration reported evidence for muonic neutrinos traveling slightly faster than light in vacuum. While waiting further checks from the experimental community, here we aim at exploring some theoretical consequences of the…
In a recent note Ellis criticizes varying speed of light theories on the grounds of a number of foundational issues. His reflections provide us with an opportunity to clarify some fundamental matters pertaining to these theories.
In this article (after some brief theoretical considerations) a bird-eye view is presented -with the help of nine figures- of the various experimental sectors of physics in which Superluminal motions seem to appear. In particular, a…
In this speculative note some of the conceivable options of supercavitation in the vacuum of quantized field theory are discussed. The resulting modes of propagation could in principle be faster than the velocity of light in unbounded…
Within an axiomatic framework of kinematics, we prove that the existence of faster than light particles is logically independent of Einstein's special theory of relativity. Consequently, it is consistent with the kinematics of special…
