The tachyon, a hypothetical, faster-than-light particle previously thought unworkable with relativity, may have some tricks up its sleeve.
An illustration conveying the idea of a space-based quantum internet, which would seem, like the hypothetical particle of a tachyon, to outpace light.The hypothetical faster-than-light particle known as the tachyon may marry with the special theory of relativity, according to a team of physicists, making their existence more plausible.Tachyons are a type of hypothetical particle, meaning its existence remains a matter of speculation.
The new research also conjures up “a new kind of quantum entanglement” that mixes past and future, the university release stated, which does not exist in conventional particle theory. “The idea that the future can influence the present instead of the present determining the future is not new in physics,” said Andrzej Dragan, a physicist at the University of Warsaw and co-author of the paper, in the release.
