Possibility of the Massive Particles Moving by Faster-than-light
Huang Zhi-xu · 2015
From the Special Relativity( SR),length( l) 、mass( m) and energy( E or W) of the moving massive particles can be varied with the speed v. When v c,l is decreased as v is increased,m and E is increased as v is increased. If v = c,the mass and energy of the moving particles become infinite. So Einstein declared that it is meaningless to discuss the speed faster than c. But it was never discovered that the object length l is decreased as v is increased in the experiments. Consider the concept of mass in physics,Newton's law of motion shows,the mass of matter have nothing to do with velocity. But in thearticle of Lorentz in 1904,following mass-velocity formula is suggested: m=m0[1-(v2/c)]-1/2.This relation is suitable even for the electrons,the rule does not entirely possible apply in all cases of motion,such as in SR. But in fact,it is lack of the experiment evidence about the Lorentz's mass-velocity relation on the neutro-particles and the neutro-bodies. Then thelight barrier difficultyperhaps no longer exists.The electron not only is a general moving body,but also a special charged moving body. So even v =c,energy are not infinite. We also know that as v is increased,the charge q and the force F is decreased.This is a good explanation for the Kaufmann's experiment in 1901. The Bertozi's experiment in 1964 was a similar incident,it can't prove the speed c is a limit in universe.In this article,we compare the present light barrierproblem with the past barrierproblem.The results of the compressible fluid mechanics can be used to the faster-than-light research,and the developments of the aerodynamics will give good references to break through the barrier. Before ultrasonic airplanes appeared,people thought a shock wave with great density would pile up when an airplane flied at a speed close to sound,then the airplane could not fly passing through the shook waves. But,according to theoretical analysis and experiments,scientists has understood when v = c( c is the sonic speed) the gas density will increase by no more than 6 times,not infinite. Then,engineers set out to design and make supersonic airplane. In 14 Oct. 1947,US Airforce succeeded in making the first supersonic flight. …… We believe that the same prospect will occur to the so-called barrier.Base on the particle-wave duality in Quantum Mechanics( QM),scientists can work along the path of particles or waves. In the past,people know that all microscopic objects behave either as waves or as particles,but never as both. But in recent advances of QM,papers will show a different perspective—it is possible to design experiments to demonstrate that a quantum object can behave both as wave and as particle. According to this situation,we believe it is possible to design experiments on the matter waves. Because several group velocity faster-than-light experiments was a great success,then we expect that the superluminal massive particles( electrons or positrons) may be exists. …… In conclusion,the massive particle moving by faster-than-light is possible. But the experimental works will be complete in the future.
