  1. Reconciling causality with superluminal travel.George H. Duffey - 1980 - Foundations of Physics 10 (11-12):959-964.
    A tachyon or a superluminal wave group appears as a spacelike structure through a region in the reference frame in which it is at rest. Such a structure can arise from residue left (a) by a particle or wave group traveling at fundamental speed c or less, or (b) in the creation or separation of particles. Thus, Maund's argument does not prove that tachyons cannot exist. Creation may include lepton-quark production as well as particle-antiparticle production.

  • Is superluminal travel a theoretical possibility?N. T. Bishop - 1984 - Foundations of Physics 14 (4):333-340.
    The theory of relativity forbids the superluminal travel of ordinary matter. However, it is possible to amend the theory of relativity and to develop a theory permitting superluminal travel. The acceptability of the features needed for superluminal travel is discussed.

  • Farewell to tachyons?L. Basano - 1980 - Foundations of Physics 10 (11-12):937-948.
    It is shown that in addition to the usual difficulties related to causality, the theory of superluminal particles also exhibits paradoxical symmetry violations. In the second part of the paper a conventional paradox is revisited: causality violations at the macroscopic level follow from simple statistical arguments.
