Theoretical particle limiting velocity from the bicubic equation: Neutrino example

Abstract

There has been a lot of interest in measuring the velocities of massive elementary particles, particularly the neutrinos. Some neutrino experi- ments at first observed superluminal neutrinos, thus violating the velocity of light c as a limiting velocity. But, after eliminating some mistakes, such as, for the OPERA experiments plugging the cable correctly and calibrat- ing the clock correctly, the measured neutrino velocity complied with c. Pursuing the theoretical side of particle limiting velocities, here directly from the special relativistic kinematics, in which all physical quantities are in the overall mathematical consistency with each other, one treats formally the velocity of light c as yet to be deduced particle limiting ve- locity, and derives the bicubic equation for the particle limiting velocity in the arbitrary reference frame.
