Neo-relativity is a hypothesis based on the finding of superluminal neutrinos as a result of OPERA experiment at CERN.It shows that the assumption that nothing travels faster than light leads to a new derivation and interpretation of Albert Einstein's special relativity hypothesis. New time dilatation and Lorentz-Fitzgerald length contraction effects emerge as comprehensible consequences of this approach. The new approach is called Neo-relativity. Rajagopal Kamath coined this term with certain general assumptions. The neo-relativity theory is based on the supposition that superluminal photons may exist in a space where the vacuum energy is in a reduced state than the normal. The current view of the universe suggests that the set of mutually receding galaxies provide a natural space for the propagation of light with a certain pace. Vacuum may exist in different energy levels especially near strong gravitational fields as in the case of super massive black holes and higher order objects such as quasars. The new hypothesis also assumes that these is no absolute Universal constant. Neo-relativity is also based on approximations. The new hypothesis can be incorporated with quantum theory to propose a new Quantum gravity.
