He is listed in &#039;&#039;[[The Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists]]&#039;&#039;.<br /> <br /> ==Work==<br /> Fontana is a co-author, with [[Erasmo Recami]] and Roberto Garavaglia, of the paper &quot;About Superluminal motions and Special Relativity: A Discussion of some recent Experiments, and the solution of the Causal Paradoxes&quot; (arXiv:0709.2453, 2007). The paper discusses experiments that have been interpreted as showing faster-than-light propagation, argues that special relativity can be extended to accommodate superluminal objects (tachyons), and offers a resolution of the classical causal paradoxes originally posed by Tolman through the mechanics of tachyons.<br /> <br /> This position lies outside the scientific mainstream, which holds that no signal or object carrying information travels faster than light in vacuum. Fontana and his co-authors argue instead that superluminal solutions are compatible with a suitably interpreted relativity.<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> * [https://arxiv.org/abs/0709.2453 &quot;About Superluminal motions and Special Relativity&quot; (arXiv:0709.2453)]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Scientist|Fontana Flavio]]<br /> [[Category:Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists]]</div>
