- Tachyon - Wikipedia
But we now know that a tachyon indicates an instability in a theory that contains it Regrettably, for science fiction fans, tachyons are not real physical particles that appear in nature
- Tachyons: Facts about these faster-than-light particles
The term "tachyon" first entered scientific literature in 1967, in a paper entitled "Possibility of faster-than-light particles" by Columbia University physicist Gerald Feinberg
- Tachyon | Faster-Than-Light, Quantum Mechanics, Particles | Britannica
Just as an ordinary particle such as an electron can exist only at speeds less than that of light, so a tachyon could exist only at speeds above that of light, at which point its mass would be real and positive
- Physicists suggest tachyons can be reconciled with the special theory . . .
Once this fact was incorporated into the theory, all the difficulties mentioned earlier completely disappeared and tachyon theory became mathematically consistent
- Do tachyons exist? - Department of Mathematics
Tachyon is the name given to the supposed "fast particle" which would move with v > c Tachyons were first introduced into physics by Gerald Feinberg, in his seminal paper "On the possibility of faster-than-light particles" [Phys Rev 159, 1089–1105 (1967)]
- This Particle Could Travel Back in Time: What Is a Tachyon?
An extraordinary particle called the tachyon could travel back in time, scientists say Here's what we know about it
- What Are Tachyons And Do They Even Exist? - IFLScience
Discussions of these claims often used a shorthand that faster-than-light travel would “make neutrinos tachyons” So, what is a tachyon, and do they exist, even if not in the form of neutrinos?
- Tachyon - Wikiwand
A tachyon or tachyonic particle is a hypothetical particle that always travels faster than light Physicists posit that faster-than-light particles cannot exist
