I give you for the book f Nimtz "rooms without time" which is written in
german
The translation of this is: _Spaces_without_time_, or perhaps _Space_with_Zero_Time_ or _Space_in_No_Time_.
"Rooms" is definitely inappropriate.
"If superluminousity exists in free space the end of known physics would
really be there"
Probably also a poor translation. But yes, if someone were to unambiguously and reproducibly measure an object or a signal traveling faster than c, that would soundly refute relativity. That is, such an observation would impose serious limits on the domain of applicability of relativity (limits currently not anticipated or expected). It would not "end" physics, it would LIMIT current theories of physics.
Now the end is there. 10 c effects are proof.
What "10 c effects"? None of Nimtz's papers have demonstrated ANYTHING traveling faster than c. That is, he has no MEASUREMENT of such speeds, he has only INDIRECT measurements that he chooses to interpret as >c, while standard physical theories (in which nothing travels faster than c) can also explain these measurements.
The most important dogma of relativity is broken.
Not true. He has no MEASUREMENTS of anything >c. <shrug>
