A general local causality principle of space-time
We propose a generalisation of the local causality principle of space-time, asserting that it holds for all regimes of motion, including superluminal motions. It assumes the existence of a countably infinite set of metrical null cone speeds, $c_k$, where the first one, $c_1=c$, corresponds to the sp...

Zusammenfassung: | We propose a generalisation of the local causality principle of space-time,
asserting that it holds for all regimes of motion, including superluminal
motions. It assumes the existence of a countably infinite set of metrical null
cone speeds, $c_k$, where the first one, $c_1=c$, corresponds to the speed of
light in vacuum. Our associated space-time measures do not diverge at the
maximum speed of each interval of speeds and implies a generalisation of
Einstein's rule for velocities addition. We construct a causal structure for
each regime of motion. After introducing a simple dynamical measure, we derive
an expression for the energy of material particles, which approaches the
relativistic one when $v |
