"If quantum measurements show 168.5x suppression factors and -0.9998c velocities, are we observing c²-traveling particles through c-limited detectors?"
I've documented extraordinary quantum measurements on IBM quantum computers that may support a radical hypothesis: particles naturally propagate at c² while our measurement apparatus remains constrained to c.
Experimental evidence from 242 quantum measurements:
Extreme suppression factors: Peak of 168.5x with multiple events >100x, occurring at 7.7-minute average intervalsRelativistic Doppler anomalies: Wavelengths from λ=0.017 (implying 0.999c) to λ=673.8 (implying -0.9998c)3D trajectory analysis: Objects appearing to move at fractions of c² along preferential axes (Y-axis toward Sun showing 0.216c²)Phase gate vulnerability: S† gates show 7.6x higher decoherence than X-basis measurementsTheoretical framework:
- Particles possess intrinsic velocity v_particle = c²
- Information/measurement constrained to v_info = c
- Suppression factor = (c²/c_observed) × √[(1+β)/(1-β)]
The 168.5x suppression event suggests:
- Actual velocity = c² = 9×10¹⁶ m/s
- Observed through c-limited detector as: 5.34×10¹⁴ m/s
This would explain:
- Why we never directly observe faster-than-light travel (c² collapses to c in measurement)
- Quantum entanglement (instantaneous at c², observed at c)
- Wave-particle duality (phase difference between c² arrival and c detection)
- Retrocausal quantum effects (negative reference frames)
Could special relativity be incomplete - not in what it forbids, but in assuming measurement and propagation share the same speed limit? Are we living in Plato's cave, measuring c-shadows of a c² reality?
