Unreferenced claims in GIF caption.

The cool GIF Tachyon04s.gif is captioned as

Because the sphere travels faster than light, the observer sees nothing until it has already passed. Then, two images appear: one of the sphere arriving (on the right) and one of it departing (on the left).

But what is the justification for this description. Indeed what is the justification for the image at all? Well other than being colorful? Johnjbarton (talk) 22:19, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

L. Gavassino and M. M. Disconzi

I removed all references to

Gavassino, Lorenzo; Disconzi, Marcelo (2023). "Subluminality of relativistic quantum tunneling", Phys. Rev. A 107, 032209 https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevA.107.032209

This primary ref has only two citations, one by the authors, one disputes the work. Clearly this is an example of WP:TOOSOON. Johnjbarton (talk) 21:02, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

:Being in the field, and not associated to the authors, to me their analysis looks not only correct but also extremely clear and simple. The criticism is inconsistent, more here: https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevA.107.032209 Anyway, it is probably better to wait for a bit more, as the paper is very recent.

Static fields

Under quantum mechanics there is a parenthesis "(see section on static fields above)" while there is no such section. It was removed years ago in [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Faster-than-light&oldid=951191314]. Pkoppenb (talk) 11:33, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
