Theory of Relativity: Simplified

Do Faster-Than-Light Particles Exist? The Mystery of Tachyons


Listen Later

What if particles could travel faster than light? In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of tachyons—hypothetical particles predicted by some extensions of relativity. We’ll explore where the idea of tachyons comes from, how they challenge our understanding of causality and time, and whether they could ever be detected. Could tachyons allow for faster-than-light communication or even time travel? Or are they just a mathematical curiosity? Join us as we unravel the physics of these elusive, high-speed particles.
