Is There a New Theory Extending Special Relativity Beyond the Speed of Light?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Recent discussions reveal that two physicists have proposed a theory extending Special Relativity (SR) to velocities exceeding the speed of light (c), maintaining compatibility with the original framework. In this new theory, the speed of light (v=c) is treated as a singularity. Participants in the forum have expressed difficulty in locating the relevant academic paper detailing this theory and its equations. A user provided a link to a related discussion thread (#153) that may contain further insights.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Special Relativity principles
  • Familiarity with the concept of singularities in physics
  • Basic knowledge of theoretical physics and its terminology
  • Experience with academic research methodologies
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of extending Special Relativity beyond the speed of light
  • Examine the concept of singularities in modern physics
  • Locate and review the paper referenced in discussion thread #153
  • Explore other theoretical frameworks that challenge or extend current physics paradigms
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, theoretical researchers, and students interested in advanced concepts of relativity and the implications of superluminal velocities.

Some time ago,I read among the news,that two physicists have extended SR to velocities greater than c in a way which is compatible with the original theory and still in their theory,v=c plays the role of a singularity
I searched on internet but couldn't find any paper explaining the theory and containing the equations
any one knows where to find it?
Thanks

I have not seen it, but perhaps you mean #153:
