A Relativistic Newtonian Mechanics Predicts with Precision the Results of Recent Neutrino-Velocity Experiments

Abstract

The research on quasi-luminal neutrinos has sparked several experimental studies for testing the "speed of light limit" hypothesis. Until today, the overall evidence favors the "null" hypothesis, stating that there is no significant difference between the observed velocities of light and neutrinos. Despite numerous theoretical models proposed to explain the neutrinos behavior, no attempt has been undertaken to predict the experimentally produced results. This paper presents a simple novel extension of Newton's mechanics to the domain of relativistic velocities. For a typical neutrino-velocity experiment, the proposed model is utilized to derive a general expression for . Comparison of the model's prediction with results of six neutrino-velocity experiments, conducted by five collaborations, reveals that the model predicts all the reported results with striking accuracy. Because in the proposed model, the direction of the neutrino flight matters, the model's impressive success in accounting for all the tested data, indicates a complete collapse of the Lorentz symmetry principle in situation involving quasi-luminal particles, moving in two opposite directions. This conclusion is support by previous findings, showing that an identical Sagnac effect to the one documented for radial motion, occurs also in linear motion.

A Model of Dark Matter and Dark Energy Based on Relativizing Newton’s Physics

“…Generalization of the results for motion in a gravitational field is detailed in[28]. In recent papers we demonstrated that Information Relativity theory, without adding any free parameter, is successful in predicting and explaining several important cosmological and astrophysical phenomena[26] [36] [37][38] [39], the neutrino velocity reported by OPERA and four other collaborations[40], as well as quantum phenomena, including quantum entanglement, and the wave-like diffraction patterns of single particles in the double-slit experiment[34] [35].…”
