Minkowski Space and Tachyon Velocity

Abstract

<p>A brief analysis of classical tachyons in Minkowski space shows that de Broglie wave phase velocity <em>V = c²/v</em> does not enable causality violations and gives an inversion of energy/momentum ratio between bradyons and tachyons. It leads to considering <em>Vv = c²</em> as a symmetry of Minkowski space where, for <em>V > c</em>, the signature of space-time is seen inverted. The inversion is shown coherent with Cramer’s transactional interpretation of quantum mechanics, but implies the physical existence of the past and the inexistence of the future.</p> <p>In a recent paper we assume that the electron wave is a magnetic current at the origin of its mass; it leads to reversed coefficients with respect to the Dirac condition. Using space-time signature inversion we show that the monopole has, in linked electrons states, quantized velocities in agreement with the de Broglie wave phase velocity. The magnetic charge is relativistic and quantum in origin and comes from the Lorentz transformation of a quantum of current. We also show that gravitation is a natural consequence of the theory.</p> <p>The predicted charges agree with experimental results from Ehrenhaft, Schedling, Ferber and Mikhaïlov. They also agree, in phenomenology, with recent results related to symmetry breaking in superconductors, and give plausible kinematics to the emission process in the Podkletlov and Poher experiments.</p

Below the Standard Model?

“…The tachyon charge transformation in (20) was previously deduced in a different manner using the Bohr model and under the assumption that the electron mass is a magnetic current (Consiglio, 2013b); it gives a quantization condition opposite to Dirac's (1931), and agrees with the two interpretations above: g = Z α e/2 n; g V = e c/2…”

“…One could ask how we can get tachyons without mass, but it naturally reduces to mass without mass. Symmetry shows in our case that tachyons momentum is bradyons energy and conversely (Consiglio, 2013b); an elegant answer to the question: There is no mass, only currents, angular momentum, and action.…”

On the Field Below SM, Analysis and Predictions

“…2) The scissor effect of [↗-↙-] and [↗+↙+] is faster than light, but it does not break causality as long as it is the de Broglie wave of its source, including the wave direction (Consiglio , 2013). It is not the so called reinterpretation principle; it is just the Lorentz transformation of de Broglie's V = c 2 /v.…”

“…The quantum of current g V = e c/2 comes from the Bohr model under the assumption that the electron mass and wave are magnetic currents (Consiglio , 2013). It is expressed in standard electromagnetic notations where the γ is interpreted as time dilation and then removed.…”
