Shock waves and Cerenkov radiation in electromagnetic substratum

International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 1991, vol. 14, 1-20

Abstract:

The EM fields of charged particles moving with velocity v in a physical vacuum with wave carrier (substratum) are determined by means of the generalized, Galilei covariant Maxwell equations for inertial frames ∑ . with substratum flow w . In this Galilean approach, all velocities have absolute meaning relative to the substratum rest frame ∑ o , and the relative velocity of material particles is given by the linear Galilean relation v G = v 1 − v 2 , permitting in principle superluminal relative velocities | v G | > c o . Inter alias, the possibility of EM shock waves and Cerenkov radiation in the vacuum substratum is discussed. Experiments are proposed to test the theoretical predictions.
