Q: Seeming violation-wave travelling faster than speed of light

Schwarz KugelblitzConsider the basic relation $$E=\sqrt{(pc)^2+(mc^2)^2}.$$ Every particle possesses a wave nature and it depends on the situation in which one among the two is perceptible... Consider a particle with rest mass $m$. If we consider the speed of De-Broglie Waves, as usual for a wave $$v_{wave}=\nu ...
