Recent theoretical results show the existence of arbitrary speeds (0 <= v < \infty) solutions of all relativistic wave equations. Some recent experiments confirm the results for sound waves. The question arises naturally: What is the…
Astrophysical models developed to explain superluminal motion in beaming phenomena are shown to be incomplete and the correct kinematical expression in any case to predict projected velocities slower than the speed of light. The observed…
We analyze the possible implication of the existence of superluminal signaling for space-time structure. A new space-time transformation for superluminal signaling is presented based on the superluminal synchrony method. We argue that…
In present work the author presents a new set of spacetime measures for both, subluminal and superluminal motion regimes, which do not diverge for the speed of light in the former case and each regime has its own light-like cone which…
First, we extend the special relativity into the superluminal case and put forward a superluminal theory of kinematics, in which we show that the temporal coordinate need exchanging with one of the spatial coordinates in a superluminal…
We show that the superluminal speeds of the muon neutrinos observed in the OPERA experiment can be explained within a relativity theory with extra time like dimensions. In addition, such theory predicts, the existence of dark matter.
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…
Einstein's theory of general relativity models the physical universe using spacetimes which satisfy Einstein's gravitational field equations. To date, Einstein's theory has been enormously successful in modeling observed gravitational…
An explanation for superluminal phenomena based on wave-particle duality of photons is suggested. A single photon may be regarded as a wave packet, whose spatial extension is its coherence volume. As a photon propagates as a wave train in…
We consider the superfluid phase of a specific renormalizable relativistic quantum field theory. We prove that, within the regime of validity of perturbation theory and of the superfluid effective theory, there are consistent and regular…
We address the issue of potential superluminal propagation of gravitational waves in backgrounds neighboring the previously suggested bounce [arXiv:1807.08361] in beyond Horndeski theory. We find that the bouncing solution lies right at the…
We discuss a superluminal unphysical motion which, we believe, has a high pedagogical potential. It highlights the physics behind the concept of simultaneity in special relativity and illustrates the non-physical character of superluminal…
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.…
By relativity we show that, although the superluminal motion of classical particles is forbidden, the superluminal transportation of quanta of any massive matter field is possible. Exact theoretical derivation and precise numerical…
At present we have only the very successful but phenomenological Einstein geometrical modelling of the spacetime phenomenon. This geometrical model provides a `container' for other theories, in particular the quantum field theories. Here we…
In the first part of this article the various experimental sectors of physics in which Superluminal motions seem to appear are briefly mentioned, after a sketchy theoretical introduction. In particular, a panoramic view is presented of the…
We construct an idealized universe for didactic purposes. This universe is assumed to consist of absolute Euclidean space and to be filled with a classical medium which allows for sound waves. A known solution to the wave equation…
In the present work we investigate the possibility of superluminal information transmission in quantum theory. We give simple and general arguments to prove that the general structure (Hilbert's space plus instantaneous state reduction) of…
We present a model for a vacuum-like effective medium composed of the absorbing and gain media under the special designed parameters. Within the linear response theory, we prove that any pulse signal (with or without a discontinuity)…
A basic problem in the relativistic quantum Hamilton-Jacobi theory is to understand whether it may admit superluminal solutions. Here we consider the averaging of the speed on a period of the oscillating term which is similar to Dirac's…
