Mapping the boundaries
of superluminal theory.

The Institute for Light-Speed Propagation studies theoretical models of faster-than-light signal transfer, dispersion anomalies, and the mathematics of causality at the edge of relativistic physics.

Focus areas

Three open questions we keep returning to.

λ

Dispersion anomalies

Modeling edge-case behavior in group velocity under extreme refractive conditions, and what it implies for signal envelopes.

τ

Causal ordering

Formal frameworks for preserving causality in theoretical models that permit superluminal information transfer.

Ψ

Quantum tunneling delay

Re-examining Hartman effect literature and its contested implications for apparent faster-than-light barrier traversal.

"Most of what we publish is negative results. That's not a failure of the program — ruling things out carefully is the actual work."
