What Are Tachyons?
Tachyons are hypothetical particles that travel faster than light. First proposed in 1967, these theoretical particles challenge our understanding of physics and causality.
Key Properties
- • Always travel faster than light
- • Have imaginary mass
- • Speed increases as energy decreases
- • Never observed experimentally
Theoretical Framework
- • Special relativity extensions
- • Quantum field theory implications
- • Causality paradoxes
- • Time travel possibilities
