On the Existence of Undistorted Progressive Waves (UPWs) of Arbitrary Speeds $0\le v<\infty$ in Nature

Abstract

We present the theory, the experimental evidence, and fundamental physical consequences concerning the existence of families of undistorted progressive waves (UPWs) of arbitrary speeds $0\le v<\infty$, which are solutions of the homogeneous wave equation, Maxwell equations, and Dirac and Weyl equations.
