Relativity accommodates superluminal mean velocities

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

Contrary to a widespread belief, measures of velocity can yield a value larger than cc, the instantaneous light speed in vacuum, without contradicting Einstein's relativity. Nevertheless, the effect turns out to be too small to explain the recently claimed superluminal velocity by the OPERA collaboration. Several other general relativistic effects acting on the OPERA neutrinos are also analyzed. All of them are unable to explain the OPERA result.
