TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the transformations Hill and Cox introduce, between inertial observers moving faster than light with respect to each other, are consistent with the principle of relativity.
Abstract: We show that the transformations Hill and Cox introduce, between inertial observers moving faster than light with respect to each other, are consistent with Einstein's principle of relativity only ...

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the general principle of relativity is neither justified by "fact", nor exemplified by the general theory of relativity, and they argue that such a principle is not justified by fact.
Abstract: Among the principles that are generally taken to underlie the general theory of relativity is a general principle of relativity. Such a principle is supposed to extend the special principle of relativity, which holds observers in uniform motion to be indistinguishable by appeal to the laws of physics, to a requirement on observers in arbitrary states of motion. Starting with physical intuitions described graphically by Galileo, proceeding through a series of formal requirements on reference frames defined on models of space-time theories, and considering other "observations" commonly associated with relativity principles, this paper argues that the general principle of relativity is neither justified by "fact", nor exemplified by the general theory of relativity.

TL;DR: The authors publicises some pedagogically interesting derivations, due to the late Professor Paul Kard of Tartu, Estonia, of certain formulae of relativistic kinematics and of the dependence of mass on speed.
