Superluminal Observations: Was Einstein Wrong?
The technical literature today is filled with reports of superluminal
observations in the universe. Usually these faster than light observations involve high-speed ejections or flares from the poles of Quasars, Blazars, or Black Holes. These observations are typically explained away by saying that that the angle of motion relative to us makes the observed speed to be illusory. But in some instances it is not clear that this is the case. And the term "superluminal" has stuck. Could the the falsification of Einstein's special theory of relativity be right in front of our eyes? http://pc.astro.brandeis.edu/BRAG/movies/ http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/art...rtype=abstract http://www.astr.ua.edu/keel/agn/3c279.html Double-A |

OK I'll bite - Can you point to reputable observations that cannot be explained by the standard model? http://www.daviddarling.info/encyclo...io_source.html |

Double-A:
Just for fun try a Google under 'superluminal phase velocity'. For example see- http://www.iitk.ac.in/infocell/Archi...nce_light.html Apparently 'phase velocity' can be de facto superluminal without violating SR. oc |
