The Existence of Superluminal Particles is Consistent with the Kinematics of Einsteinʹs Special Theory of Relativity

Within an axiomatic framework of kinematics, we prove that the existence of faster than light (FTL) particles is logically independent of Einsteinʹs special theory of relativity. Consequently, it is consistent with the kinematics of special relativity that there might be faster than light particles.
