Journal mburns's Journal: Again: Superluminal Kaluza-Klein Charges Lose Their Effect.
Subluminal Kaluza-Kein charges are not polarized in an encounter with the superluminal variety as they are with other subluminals. So they see and change their path only in response to the difference of the red and blue fields instead of the sum of the magnitudes. This reduces the effect to the level of a gravitational interaction, twenty powers of ten smaller than the subluminal electrostatic interactions.
Consider the 1-form that represents the potential of a superluminal charge, even neglecting the Kaluza-Klein model. When the superluminal charge changes path, how can the implication that changes in the potential must propagate superluminally be avoided? Superluminal light really is a logical problem.
