Another example of a tachyonic field is the tachyon of bosonic string theory.

This equation shows that the total energy of a particle ( bradyon or tachyon ) contains a contribution from its rest mass ( the " rest mass-energy ") and a contribution from its motion, the kinetic energy.

Instead, what would be required to avoid paradoxes is that unlike any known particle, tachyons do not interact in any way and can never be detected or observed, because otherwise a tachyon beam could be modulated and used to create an anti-telephone or a " logically pernicious self-inhibitor ".

A physical object or particle moving faster than the speed of light would have space-like four-momenta ( such as the theoretical tachyon ), and these do not appear to exist.

A tachyon is a hypothetical subatomic particle that always moves faster than light.

In the language of special relativity, a tachyon would be a particle with space-like four-momentum and imaginary proper time.

The best-known example is probably the tachyon, a theoretical particle that always travels faster than light.

One curious effect is that, unlike ordinary particles, the speed of a tachyon increases as its energy decreases.

This is often illustrated with thought experiments such as the " tachyon telephone paradox " or " logically pernicious self-inhibitor.

The attempt to detect a tachyon from the future ( and violate causality ) would actually create the same tachyon and send it forward in time ( which is causal ).

In general, the phenomenon of spontaneous symmetry breaking, which is closely related to tachyon condensation, plays a very important role in many aspects of theoretical physics, including the Ginzburg – Landau and BCS theories of superconductivity.

Even a tachyon would not move along the path that one might naively expect from a " rubber sheet " analogy: in particular, if the dimple is drawn pointing upward rather than downward, the tachyon's path still curves toward the central mass, not away.

This is due to the lack of an exact string field theory that would describe the off-shell evolution of the tachyon.

A starfury fighter is sent to Sector 14 to investigate unusual tachyon readings.

The character of closed-string tachyon condensation is more subtle, though the first steps towards our understanding of their fate have been made by Adams, Polchinski, and Silverstein, in the case of twisted closed string tachyons, and by Simeon Hellerman and Ian Swanson, in a wider array of cases.

She is best known for her work on tachyon condensation

As the past and present Enterprises scan the anomaly with tachyon beams, the USS Pasteur is attacked by Klingon ships, but the crew is saved due to the timely arrival of the future Enterprise under the command of Admiral William Riker.

Caught in the Enemy's tachyon net and critically damaged, the Ithaca is trapped.

Silver Samurai ( Kenuichio Harada ), the illegitimate son of Shingen Yashida, is a Japanese mutant with the power to charge almost anything, most notably his katana, with mutant energy ( described as a tachyon field ) which enables it to slice through any known substance excluding adamantium.

His ship shattered and broken, Poole begins dying, but at the last moment, an " anti-Xeelee " ( whom it is implied is a being created by the Xeelee to be like them, except traveling like a tachyon backwards in time, the better to mold the Xeelee's early evolutionary history ) takes a liking to Poole, and converts him into an intangible immortal being of " quantum functions ".

The Doctor is intrigued by the manipulation of the tachyon in the Hive ’ s Tachyon Recreation Generator, which is the main tourist attraction and is able to duplicate and manipulate organic matter.

The no-ship is nearly caught in their tachyon net, but escapes using the space-folding Holtzman engines.

The term " bradyon ", from ( bradys, “ slow ”), was coined to contrast with " tachyon ", from ( tachys, “ swift, quick, fast, rapid ”), which refers to hypothetical particles that travel faster than light.

Because a tachyon always moves faster than light, we cannot see it approaching.

The reinterpretation principle asserts that a tachyon sent back in time can always be reinterpreted as a tachyon traveling forward in time, because observers cannot distinguish between the emission and absorption of tachyons.

However, it was soon realized that excitations of such imaginary mass fields do not in fact propagate faster than light, but instead represent an instability known as tachyon condensation.

Faster than light communications technology, Fatlines are said to operate through tachyon bursts.

A tachyon with an electric charge would lose energy as Cherenkov radiation — just as ordinary charged particles do when they exceed the local speed of light in a medium.

Episodes are replete with references to tachyon beams, baryon sweeps, quantum fluctuations and event horizons.

Captain Picard, suspecting this, convinced pro-Federation leader Gowron to attack Duras ' forces in order to draw Romulan reinforcements out of hiding ; when the Romulans attempted to enter the fray, they were revealed by a Federation tachyon blockade, and the Duras family, exposed as traitors, lost all support.

After a tachyon has passed nearby, we would be able to see two images of it, appearing and departing in opposite directions.

A charged tachyon traveling in a vacuum therefore undergoes a constant proper time acceleration and, by necessity, its worldline forms a hyperbola in space-time.

Even an electrically neutral tachyon would be expected to lose energy via gravitational Cherenkov radiation, because it has a gravitational mass, and therefore increase in speed as it travels, as described above.

If the tachyon interacts with any other particles, it can also radiate Cherenkov energy into those particles.

In the paper that coined the term " tachyon ", Gerald Feinberg studied Lorentz invariant quantum fields with imaginary mass.

Instead, the negative mass represents an instability to tachyon condensation, and all excitations of the field propagate subluminally and are consistent with causality.

In quantum field theory, imaginary mass would induce tachyon condensation.

After routing the attempted foothold, Captain Picard discovers a new type of nebula-a tachyon nebula.

In particular, following the work of Ashoke Sen, it has been useful in the study of tachyon condensation on unstable D-branes.

After second quantization, they are interpreted instead as classical fields representing the tachyon, gauge field and a ghost field.

As can be seen from this example, calculating the transition probability for the particle to tunnel through a classically forbidden region () with the Minkowskian path integral corresponds to calculating the transition probability to tunnel through a classically allowed region ( with potential − V ( X )) in the Euclidean path integral ( pictorially speaking — in the Euclidean picture — this transition corresponds to a particle rolling from one hill of a double-well potential standing on its head to the other hill ).

Its observation was a shock to astrophysicists, who estimated its energy to be approximately ( 50 J )— in other words, a subatomic particle with kinetic energy equal to that of a baseball () traveling at about.

His Ph. D. thesis concerned the energy spectrum of electrons emitted in muon decay ; his results showed that this was a three-body decay, and implied the participation of two neutral particle in the decay ( later identified as the electron () and muon () neutrinos ) rather than one.
