Temporal Reversal of Events in Restricted Relativity

Carlton W. Berenda

Abstract

A simple “scissorlike” effect is mathematically examined as a measurable process that can produce over-light speeds of the intersectional point. This process is studied under the conditions of restricted relativity theory, and it is shown that when the intersectional point exceeds light speed c in one inertial system S, it can undergo “temporal reversal” relative to some other inertial system S′.
