The tachyon particle has an almost mythical air about it in the scientific community, mostly because we don’t know if it actually exists. But if it does, the tachyon has some tantalizing connections ...

A straightforward math tweak could bring tachyon fields into line with the rest of physics. Tachyons are faster-than-light particles, and tachyon fields are special cases of quantum field. The math ...

The idea of the tachyon particle first gained traction in the early 1900s, when Albert Einstein theorized that a particle that could travel faster than the speed of light could exist. The term wasn't ...

The idea of a particle that races faster than light has long fascinated physicists. Known as the tachyon, it was originally dreamed up to help untangle paradoxes in quantum theory and relativity.

The concept of the tachyon, a theoretical particle that travels faster than light, has fascinated physicists and sparked ...
