1202.2631 (Jean-Marie Frere et al.)

Why Photons Are Not Slow    [PDF]

Jean-Marie Frere, Simon Mollet, Michel H. G. Tytgat
We discuss to what extent the simplest attempt to reconcile the OPERA
experiment with Special Relativity is excluded (except maybe in very contrived
frameworks), assuming that the Special Relativity formalism holds, but with a
larger limiting speed $c_l$, while the photon moves at slower speed (which may
involve the presence of an "aether"). We take into account the most recent
Michelson-Morley type experiments.
