Can move faster than light?

Moving faster than light is not fiction but reality - mathematicians at the University of Adelaide try to prove it.

According to Special Relativity Theory (SRT), an ordinary object cannot move faster than the speed of light. But Australian scientists, Sydney University professors Jim Hill and Barry Cox have found new recipes to extend SRT to a value higher than the speed of light, the Daily Mail said.

Even so, Professors Jim Hill and Barry Cox also foretold that it would be too early to think of dream travel: "So far there is no premise to achieve the speed limit by Existing transport means ".

There is only one announcement at the European Nuclear Research Center (CERN) in Switzerland working with subatomic particles that claim beams of neutrinos move faster than light billions of a second, but believe It has been less than 1 year since the physicists made the measurement and admitted it was only a technical mistake.

Scientists can theoretically move faster than light.

But now in Australia, there is an equally sensational news. Professor Hill - a mathematician - stated: 'Our approach is to extend Einstein's SRT naturally and logically, thus finding a formula without resorting to numbers or based on any complex laws of physics'.

Of course, without Einstein's equation, it is impossible to describe objects capable of moving at the speed of light in new Australian theory.

'We are mathematicians, not physicists, so we approach this issue from a mathematical point of view,' said Dr Cox.

The scientist stressed that he and his colleagues did not intend to work through their research to provide a solution on how to achieve and exceed the speed of light. Their task is only to find out which equations and formulas they implement can reasonably deduce such speeds exist.

However, he notes that although it is only theoretically possible to have faster movements than the speed of light, in principle, all problems change at the root.

One author commented on Computerra's website that the speed of light and its invariants in any reference system play a key role in relativity. The speed of light does not depend on the speed of the light source and the observer (device). That's what has been repeatedly confirmed by experiment.

From Einstein's famous equation E = mc2 (in relation to speed and energy) deduce that the higher the particle, the higher the speed. Any particle that wants to catch up to the speed of light must make it have unlimited energy.

In the work of Australian scientists, it is possible to overcome the speed of light mathematically and is a phenomenon that is not contradictory.

'In essence, Hill and Cox have described the movement of a hypothetical particle without mass at a faster rate than light in a correct and logical way and nothing is contradictory' - the author concludes.
