Speed of Light, Superbradyon, Superluminal Superluminal particle in an air shower, although this result has never been reproduced. Inġ973, using a large collection of particle detectors, Philip Crough and Roger Clay identified a putative The particles madeīy this collision interact with the air, creating even more particles in a phenomenon known as a cosmic ray shower. Cosmic rays hit the Earth's atmosphere with high energy (some of them with speedĪlmost 99.99% of the speed of light) making several collisions with the molecules in the atmosphere. It has been proposed that tachyons could be produced from high-energy particle collisions, and tachyon searches haveīeen undertaken in cosmic rays. AndĪmazingly, modern presentations of tachyon theory actually allow tachyons to actually have real mass (Recami 1996). Tachyons can be assigned properties of normal matter such as spin, as well as an antiparticle (the antitachyon). Universe independent of their state of motion. Principle of special relativity must be false, and there exists a unique time order for all observers in the Therefore, it seems unavoidable that if tachyons exist, the Unavoidable time paradox (Maiorino and Rodrigues 1999). Under the assumption that the principle of special relativity is a true law of nature, thus generating a real Tachyons appear to violate causality (the so-called causality problem), since they could be sent to the past Speed possible for tachyons is the speed of light. Consequently, when tachyons gain energy, they slow down. ( tachus), meaning "speedy." Tachyons have the strange properties that, Tachyons wereįirst proposed by physicist Arnold Sommerfeld, and named by Gerald Feinberg. Tachyons are a putative class of particles which able to travel faster than the speed of light. Portions of this entry contributed by Waldyr A.
