Journal mburns's Journal: Superluminal Sources of Radiation
I have already written on the contradictions involved in electromagnetic radiation from a superluminal source. The best conclusion is that superluminal charges themselves should be defined as unobservable.
But superluminal sources of gravity are not contradictory in their effects, unlike superluminal sources of electromagnetic potential. And their gravitational radiation is shared in only one direction - the direction of travel of the superluminal source. (In higher dimensions, more directions for gravitational radiation are available for sharing. And in two dimensions gravitational radiation is not possible at all, because two dimensions plus time are required to produce it, and another dimension is required to propagate in.)
The questions are: Does this have anything to do with the number of dimensions we experience? And is there an additional uncertainty principle needed to prohibit the communication of contrary observations from a superluminal partner?
