introduction. I think all parties can understand that such sweeping statements should be qualified whenever they are made, and that it should be indicated that it is only according to one extant theory, however highly regarded it is. Also, the last sentence of the introduction seems to be conflating Feinberg's analysis, mentioned twice, with someone else's opinion, referenced at the end. And the section after the hyphen makes reference to something outside the article, without even making a single statement regarding the subject in the article, which is at best extremely poor article construction, particularly in the introduction. Also, the fact that the first "by Feinberg's analysis" could be seen as indicating that the second "also by Feinberg's analysis" is contingent on the first reference to Feinberg seems to be placing all the emphasis on that single source. Unless sources which explicitly stated that such a source were universally accepted, and no such sources are yet indicated, that would seem to be placing too much emphasis on that single theory. Based on all the above, the introduction I believe is still in dire need of grammatical and content work. Basically, all that was done was restoring the content and adding a reference. Consensus is based on a lot more than that, particularly since several of the concerns I first expressed have yet to be addressed at all, so far as I can see.
3838:'s research into finding ways for tapping energy directly from the ether. According to rumour, he was apparantly close to some kind of breakthrough, but then he lost all economical support. The corporative supporting him was alledgedly into the electric bulb business. I've heard his laboratory was destroyed. As I reason, the signified element, the ether, objective for Tesla's experimentation has, at least on the level of the signifier, evolved, or merged into the theoretical tachyonic field. Thus it attracts such "New Age" speculation here above referred to. Allthough I would imply that the history of inventions has been followed by all sorts of speculation about beneficial theurapeutic, or medical properties (cf. Galvanotherapy, Cymatic therapy, Radiotherapy, magnetotherapy and so on) with regard to the new "worlds" which is explored. This should be regarded as a rather reasonable redundancy, and not a phenomenon specific to New Age. Often, I believe, that the inventors themselves are the most imaginative of the potential fantastic effects of their discoveries, confer for instant John Logie Baird, inventor of television, who imagined that his invention would make visible the invisible spirits of the ether. It might even be hold that it was his prime motive. What it actually became in our culture he despised. -- 3325:, which explicitly states that such things are at least mathematically possible. I am sure you would agree that we do not yet know enough raw data on the universe outside the planet to be really able to make such sweeping generalizations that "such things are not possible". And, now for the third time, I request a specific indication that the consensus was reached. I note now that there are two parties, Gluck and yourself, who seem to support such phrasing, and at least one party, myself, who has serious reservations that such a sweeping statement denying the very possibility of something is responsible in a field such as this, about which even the experts would acknowledge our knowledge of the subject is basically limited to a very pathetically small segment of the various possibilities. I do acknowledge however that there was to date agreement of one person to that statement. As there is now a disagreement about the sweeping nature of that statement, however, I would request that comments from other parties come in to establish a current, existing, consensus. 3780:) speaks of tachyons hypothetically ("If they were indeed to exist ... ") and more or less concludes that people have looked and never found any evidence. Physicists often look for things that they don't entirely expect to find, just to be sure. I really don't think this article supports the statement "However the debate and scientific speculation over the existence of tachyons is still open". A more accurate interpretation would be "There is no experimental evidence for the existence of physical tachyon particles, but scientists remain open to the possibility." But the second part is redundant, since scientists are (or certainly should be) always open to the prospect of anything, provided that it has enough firm, reproducible scientific evidence. It would be much more appropriate and accurate, so I'll change it to "There is no experimental evidence for the existence of physical tachyon particles". That's really what the encyclopedia article seems to be saying. 3583:, and in particular the following quotation about biographies which probably also applies here:"When writing about controversies... neither suppress notable information nor overwhelm the subject with negative material; always pay scrupulous attention to sources. Write clinically, and let the facts speak for themselves." As it is, this article does seem to be suppressing notable information about contrary viewpoints, and even specifically writing them off. Also, the lead currently contains a single sentence paragraph, which is counterindicated in the style guidelines. Also, the final clause in question violates that style guideline as well, "Do not tease the reader by hinting at startling facts without describing them." The statement that tachyons do not exist is not in fact expanded upon anywhere in the article. As such, the final section of the lead in particular completely fails to adhere to even the most minimal standards of style. 3960:
3i, not to mention that physics right now doesn't have a proper explanation for what an "imaginary" mass would be. The fact that they are both hypothetical and related to string theory at this stage doesn't make much difference simply because there are a lot of hypothetical particles that come up in string theory that we have no evidence for yet. And while a tachyon's speed will vary inversely with its energy, that says nothing about the "range" of the particle. We're pretty sure that gravity (and thus, the graviton) being massless, propagates at the speed of light, and would therefore also negate the idea that they are tachyons. Though there are a few superficial correlations, they have very different properties.
2462:
In field theory, this occurs with the Higgs mechanism. In that case, the potential is not simply quadratic and actually has a minimum. The field has the standard E-p relation at the top of the potential. This is unstable since the mass is imaginary and this mode will grow exponentially. But as it grows, one must take into account higher-order effects in the field magnitude and the E-p relation is no longer the simple quadratic one. This tames the exponential growth and makes the field settle to the minimum of the potential. There one can use the standard E-p relation again, but it now has real mass.
2001:
Higgs, I can give another example of apparent incongruity. Part of the reason why he claims that one must use anti-commutators is that there are unitary transformations which switch creation and annihilation operators. But this is common when one studies Bogolubov transforms, which are used to describe Hawking radiation and cosmological particle production and there is never any mention in those contexts of the need to change statistics. It could be that these issues were worked out after this Feinberg paper. I will need to look into it further before I can make a definite conclusion.
4139:- having a reference is worthless if its wrong, in FTL physics and tachyons we are dealing with the clash of inherently incompatible models of science. My own work is still lacking experimental proof and is probably years from publication, I may never publish - any comments I make beyond a certain point become OR. The central problem is that FTL behaviour almost certainly is causality breaking. Physics as it stands in this area is till very incomplete. Works like Feinbergs are very detailed but he is missing an essential part of Relativity - that 2391:
particles going backward in time (which we can't understand easily) as anti-particles going forward in time. Okay, I think I understand that. If this is correct, maybe it should be in the article - the particle/antiparticle analogy is useful to understand the real/imaginary mass. Re: unphysicalness - If the tachyon mass is imaginary, then that's obviously unphysical. But if it were interpreted as real, as above .... Hmm. Well, I thought the presence of tachyons sounds the death knell for a theory, isn't that right? As mentioned in

acceptable. It was stated by the editor who inserted the content that the issue was "discussed" on this talk page. "Discussion" and "consensus" are far from being the same thing. I would now ask the editors involved in this page whether they believe the content I removed should be included or not. If they indicate it should not, I would also request some input as to what alternate phrasing, if any, would be acceptable, so that we can determine what the existing consensus regarding this subject is. Thank you.
1978:). My understanding is that it has to do with first quantization in special relativistic quantum mechanics(not QFT). This could easily lead to problems since special relativistic quantum mechanics is sort of an incomplete description anyway. I think it should be made clear in the text that although "tachyons are scalar fermions" may follow in special relativistic quantum mechanics, it in no way holds in quantum field theory. Again, the canonical example is the Higgs mechanism but there are others. 3761:
unless the theory is clearly, absolutely, and specifically proven beyond a doubt. And, as we all know in matters of this kind, such absolute proof rarely if ever exists. However, clearly, by including such information only in the lead and not referencing it anywhere else in the article, this article as it is currently constructed almost certainly violates both POV and MOS guidelines. Also, I regret to say that as currently constructed the entire last sentence of the lead might be seen to violate
3566:
smokescreen to obscure that request above is completely irrelevant to the discussion, and unfortunately seemingly in keeping with that editor's tendency toward unfounded statements. Also, it should be noted that wikipedia is specifically intended for the general reader, and that it is not a good idea to assume that the reader is an expert. Such a reference establishing the credibility of the only source cited on a subject of that importance are reasonable. Regarding sources, the entry in
3765:, as it seems to be grouping multiple ideas together in a way which does not seem to have apparently done in the sources themselves. I will forego placing the POV tag as well, at least for a while, if I receive clear indications from some party who has responsibly worked with the article, such as the editor who posted the last earlier comment, that there will be an effort to address these concerns in the near future, and actually see efforts to that effect in the near future. 201:--- I think the subject of tachyons is a rather delicate matter, more delicate than perhaps this article presents. That is, I changed "hypothetical" to "theoretical," in an attempt to distinguish between the theory and practice without the ladened hyperbole' (is that a fair description?). It seems to me that tachyons are quite a bit deeper than "fanciful things," where their existence may even end up being necessary in order to explain any number of real phenomena (see 3344:
sources as "unreliable". I also note that at least some other parties, I think Hawking (?), have also indicated that faster-than-light travel is at least theoretically possible. Therefore, dismissing it as impossible could be seen as both explicitly ignoring reliable sources and original research. I would welcome substantive discussion of more acceptable phrasing, and look forward to further input regarding that subject from any and all parties.
4256: 31: 4093:
at all velocities (impossible for obvious reasons). Saying that "A is correct and everything else is wrong inevitably comes before the discovery that A is wrong too. Any real solution has to deal with Relativity, with non-locality, and Minkowski space time and gravitational curvature. - Oh dear that has already broken the Quantum based answer in this article. (Relativity maps gravity one way Quantum Mechanics another, at least one is wrong.)
2504:
it out clearly and in so many words, that even after 45 years, this model (like string theory) has produced absolutely nothing! Period!!! If anyone has any evidence that these things exist, I would like certainly like to know about it. Finally, it was my link that Dan Gluck deleted on the assumption that the article was unpublished. In fact, it has been published. (See my Knowledge user account with user name Ernstwall.)
3284:
to me a specific section which clearly indicates that a consensus of the editors agreed to the specific wording used in the now-removed content, I will gladly withdraw my objeciton. However, I do believe that based on what I have read that the content as added was not agreed to in advance. If I am wrong, my apologies. If by whatever chance I am right, I would welcome discussion as to what phrasing should be used.
4101:- The third point is rather uglier, the article states an old saw about tachyon velocities. Well while not directly incorrect this assumes a great deal about the FTL universe (much of it wrong) and its really little more like angels dancing on the head of a pin. (My OR shows that tachyons have a very complicated phase space and different maps and many different behaviors are quite possible, but some are not. ) 3321:
really wish people spelled Arthur C. Clarke's name right, particularly considering that he is a moderately respectable futurist who explicitly disagrees with that statement which I have removed. Also, Dan Gluck's sweeping statement that "such things are not possible" is itself dubious, given the admittedly unlikely but still at least theoretically possible, as indicated in the last paragraph of the
3677:
Feinberg, whom you take as apparently being the ultimate source, I believe that would be an additional indication that the contested statement ending the lead needs to be elaborated, or better, removed from the lead entirely. Also, I note that you have not addressed any of the other points raised. Considering I have fulfilled your requests, I very much request that you respond in kind. Thank you.

article. Also, I find myself once again forced to ask you to respond to the other points made, as you have continued to refuse to respond to them. Please do respond to them, rather than continuing to ignore them. Thank you. And, as these concerns have not yet been addressed, I have placed the appropriate tags for improving references and copyediting until they are addressed.
1959:
potential. This field is tachyonic but the quantization is performed using commutation relations. If it were fermionic, one would quantize by introducing non-trivial anti-commutators. So could someone explain to me what the passage in the text means? Maybe there is confusion with the term ghost field; these are fields which satisfy the wrong spin-statistics relation.
2618:
even deserve a paragraph stating that it has no experimental evidence. The article currently simply states that according to the modern view (i.e. quantum field theory) tachyon particles cannot exist. Tachyonic fields do exist, but no corresponding particle does, as is explained under the relevant section dealing with modern interpretation via quantum field theory.
3413:, and have once again indulged in a weakness that has been observed by several people regarding your conduct, specifically your tendency to to avoid directly dealing with questions asked of you by attacking and insulting others, as you have explicitly done above. In fact that was the exact nature of my incomplete evidence as reported 4105:
behaviour is how closely it models parts of 'psychic phenomena', and unfortunately I pointed that out. Where people like the 'New Agers' fall down of course is that no-one actually knows how to generate such things as large scale Quantum Coherence or tachyon transience - otherwise their bracelets and magic totems would already work.
374:. There might be, now that I think about it, a few cases where nominations for the Nobel are actually significant: a person who is nominated several times and eventually wins; a person who is nominated for work shared with others, but because no more than three people can split the award, receives nothing (a bit like 666: 3391:

And I sincerely suggest that, considering you are now on probation for your misconduct for a full year, that you perhaps learn something from the experience, like ceasing to indulge in your earlier problematic behavior.
4092:
My central complaint is that the article simply assumes and knows to much, and precognitively tells the us answers to questions that physics hasn't solved yet. As such it makes several quite obvious errors about causality and assumes that current models of Quantum Mechanics and Relativity are correct
3959:
The short answer is No. Tachyons are by definition faster than light particles. Gravitons do not travel faster than light, they probably travel at the speed of light, in fact. Also Tachyons aren't massless... they have an imaginary mass. There's a big difference between a mass of 0 and a mass of say,
3644:
It is a claim which is not made elsewhere, thus it qualifies as an extraordinary claim. And references to other articles are not indicated as being sufficient in the MOS. Creating a separate section of the article to deal with it is what is indicated, or at least further references within the article
3544:
Science is all about finding universal truths and thereby making sweeping statements. Such universal qualifications you seek are, well, universally valid and thereby redundant. Do you seek to pepper each and every paragraph in every science article with the same redundant qualifer? Unless you have

I don't think he was being used as a source, rather that his theories were being explicity discounted bove and that seems to have been involved in making the decision to change the content. He was I believe respected for some work relevant to oceanography, but that isn't relevant to this article. And
2716:
I meant in the layman meaning, i.e. a person moving faster than light. Perhaps you're familiar with Arthur C. Clark's ridiculous statement that spaceships may be able to move faster than light in the future, because we already know that there are particles that do that - the tachyons. Since Knowledge
2354:
Okay, so this does not really help the imaginary mass issue. Tachyons still have imaginary mass, as understood by the usual E-p relation. Arbitrarily putting m' = im just hides the imaginariness. Right? In this case, I don't really see the point of such re-arrangement. It seems to me that we are just
2334:
What is the justification for moving the mass term to the other side of the equation? It seems to be arbitrary, just so you can get a real mass. Why should we expect any particle to obey a different energy-momentum relation? Also, although I don't seem to know as much about tachyons as some people on

be possible to come up with physical/mathematical proof of their nonexistence (i.e., a contradiction in existing laws of physics as yet undiscovered). I think it's important to point out that tachyons have never been shown to exist, but that their existence has never been explicitly ruled out either.
4104:
Finally on the section on New Age 'nonsense' I'm afraid that I may be partly responsible for some of this since I talked on the subject in several groups five or six years ago, and a lot of what appears now looks a little like my terminology of the time. One of the uncomfortable things about tachyon
3800:
Im not certain there is a wiki article about it but it has become a common internet scam to use 'tachyon' as some kind of mysterious holistic energy found in products certain sites sell, evidentally increasing the negative entropy of the human system and spontaniously healing/strengthening. I wonder
3746:
Thank you for the information. It's nice to actually get some. However, the remaining problems which I raised before, which specifically include the fact that at least one recognized source in the field, Feinberg himself, seems to indicate that he believes that tachyons might exist, as per the quote
3699:
The article is also written by Feinberg himself, presumably after the other source mentioned, as already indicated, which would seem to indicate that even the writer himself has perhaps decided that the statements from 1967 are not such as he would make at the time of the writing of the encyclopedia
3578:
states at the end of the entry on "Tachyons", "Whether this means that tachyons do not in fact exist, or whether future experiments of a different type will reveal them, remains uncertain," which is an entirely different take than this article's current blanket dismissal. On that basis, I believe it
3320:
Interesting. However, it does not address the specific question I asked regarding the specific content added. Also, please note by policy the obligation rests on you to demonstrate where consensus was reached. I note once again that you have yet to offer any such clear evidence of consensus. Also, I
3283:
Actually, you presume incorrectly. I did read the sections of the talk page which had headings which indicated relation to this topic and I did not see what would be qualify as consensus. Content of the other page is basically irrelevant to the content of this article. If you can however demonstrate
2922:
I think that the difference is just because when we have a sphere, the images of its upper and lower parts connect with the arriving and departing images to create one connected image. When the back part of the sphere leaves the point where the observer is located, this will no longer be true and we
2910:
Thanks again for your comments but it strikes me that if we follow the supersonic jet analogy, instead of having one image that splits into two, both departing in opposite directions from the same point, we have two images or series-of-images/sounds, one arriving ( even if in reverse order ) and one
2050:
However, this sentence is vague as well. It leaves the reader confused imho because how can a particle get to this point? The confusion arises because to get to superliminary speeds would seemingly be impossible from a subluminary speed. The particle would have to be created at FTL speeds. Therefore

1958:
I would like to challenge the bit about tachyons as scalar fermions. I'm not familiar with Feinberg's work(and I can't access those journal articles right now to check it out), but this seems quite incongruous with things that I understand quite well. Consider the Higgs field near the maximum of its

3380:
Please calm down. You did not say that you were referring to your earlier mention of SF author ACC, and so I asked for clarity. Has ACC published a text book about, or in a scientific journal on, tachyons? I doubt it. BTW I did not "explicitly denounce" Arthur C. Clarke's statements; never even
3343:
True. However, I do note that the earlier consensus discounted at least one source who might generally be thought as being at least notable. As indicated above, the specific phrasing can be seen as being problematic. There is no particular rush to restoring content which seems to dismiss recognized

it passes the observer. Since the object arrives before the light the observer sees nothing until the sphere starts to pass the observer, after which the image-as-seen-by-the-observer slowly splits into two -- one of the arriving sphere (to the right) and one of the departing sphere (to the left).
2856:
Thanks for coming back. However you haven't answered the question in layman's terms; I am not a scientist so don't understand doppler. I just want to know whether the left-hand side ( or the right-hand side ) is the arriving view. Then I can deduce that the other -hand is the departing view. It's a

I have no desire to get into a tourney of urination, but Dan has stated in no uncertain terms in his user account that he doesn't want to argue with "nobodys". I trust after reviewing my summary of my background he will not consider me to be a total nobody (maybe just a partial nobody?). Also, does

It would appear that many people believe the Sudarshan particles (imaginary mass particles) might someday be shown to exist. This web page almost implies that they actually do as of today because it spends time writing about a model that has yet to agree with experiment. So I added a note to point
2461:
so a complex energy means this isn't just a phase but rather grows or decays in time. In classical electrodynamics, when light propagates through some medium, the signal decays as the medium absorbs energy from the wave. But sometimes a system is unstable and a certain mode will increase with time.
1899:
This sounds like noncense: "Tachyons (if they existed) could be used to transmit energy-momentum, but they can't be used for communication." By shannons law if you transmit energy you transmit information. Think about it: just modulate if and when, or how much energy you send, and you automatically

271:. I hate to play the card-carrying obnoxious physicist, but any remark like "is considered to be" is weasel terminology. The only reason it could belong in the introduction is if a fuller description followed below, with proper citations to both original journal articles and later retrospectives. 4152:
Even if all my own work is rubbish such heavy claims about something so speculative are dangerous because they can give a very wrong impression of the truth. - In this case Knowledge's rule of only quoting referenced work is again a likely potential route to disaster or at least egg on face. (The

Once such mathematical extension to complex numbers is accepted, all the rest of the article is OK. However it would be inappropriate to assume such extension without explicitly stating it, especially because this article will be read by people with very different backgrounds, not only physicists.
2685:
Yes it was a bit cruel, but as someone who's used to much worse articles, it wasn't that bad... anyway I can live with the present form of the article. My only fear is that people won't understand that all the science fiction stuff about moving faster than light is totally fictitious (according to

By the way the deletion of the link is unrelated to the deletion of the paragraph regarding the Sudarshan particle. In my (not so humble as you've noticed) opinion, this particle is totally unnotable today, since the modern view of the subject is that tachyon particles cannot exist, so it does not

asked me to look at the recent edits and comment on this discussion. Tachyons are kind of a funny subject but if thought of properly do not "doom" a theory or demonstrate inconsistency per se. It is best not to think of them as particles in the classical(or even first quantized) sense; this may in

That is certainly not how I understand commutation relations to work. Such relations are constraints on operators and are not functions of the expectation values of those operators. I don't know the resolution of this but I'm strongly skeptical of Feinberg's claims. Besides the comparison with the

I was wondering about the Higgs angle, but don't really know enough to comment more. Re the scalar fermions, that's definitely how Feinberg presents it: he says the Lorentz group has no finite dimensional rep for imaginary mass (something I dimly recall from my college days) hence we are dealing
231:
It should be said rather strongly that the hypothesis that tachyons exist as particles, and are able to interact with ordinary matter, is very hard to entertain, unless you throw away one of the main principles of particle theory. It would introduce logical paradoxes, that is self-contradictions,
2390:
Yes, the dynamics are unchanged. So you're saying that if we interpret tachyons as obeying the usual E-p relation we would view them as having imaginary mass, but if we interpret them as obeying the re-arranged relation, we would not view them as having imaginary mass. Just like how we interpret

Considering that superpartners and even the Higgs are currently hypothetical particles, this adjective implies no opprobrium. If a particle exists "real" or "physical"; if it doesn't it's "fictional" or "unphysical"; if we don't know yet it's "hypothetical". In fact, "theoretical particle" is an

Rigorously speaking, tachyons are incompatible to special relativity, at least as it is known today. One way to understand such incompatibility is to remark that in special relativity, time and each of the three space dimensions are represented by real numbers. When deducing special relativity

It is not a PA to state that you're imagining things (such as my claimed explicit rubbishing of ACC, which never happened). Yes, I have a tendency to ignore irrelevant questions, such your issues about the arbcom evidence; they are irrelevant to tachyons (take it to my talk page). As for the

I specifically requested only one source on one particular claimant's reliability, which would seem to be reasonable for a party featured as prominently in the lead of the article. The statement about making sweeping generalizations is basically irrelevant and ignored. The attempt to create a

1. I agree. 2. Standing on-axis certainly makes the double image effect more dramatic, but even if you're watching from a distance you'd still see the same effect, namely one image appearing without warning which then splits in two. I don't know to prove this rigorously but you can probably
2675:
Hi Dan, I don't think we disagree about the physics, just best way of expressing it. I don't buy the "defined asymptotically" argument since that would still permit the existence of virtual tachyons appearing as particles in Feynman diagrams. Also I thought it was a bit cruel to present the

Hi Michael. The new section explains why the modern concept of particles does not allow tachyon to exist as particles. This is not because their existence would violate causality, but because a particle is defined asymptotically, meaning that it has to exist long enough to be measured. While

I believe that sentence is erroneous. Indeed it is almost contradictory since one section ago, we just discuss the foundation of tachyons in the framework of Special Relativity itself! The main issue here is that tachyons can violate the principles of causality. But if I recall correctly,

Special Relativity theory works with one real time dimension and three real space dimensions. So having v being greater than c (and having imaginary numbers as the contraction/dilatation factor in Lorentz equations) requires extending special relativity to deal with complex numbers.

The new section does not explain why tachyons do not exist, but rather why they are unstable. It is not true that they don't exist because their existence would violate causality -- Feinberg's QFT treatment still maintained the CCRs for QFT and the vanishing of the anticommutator of

2771:
I object. Tachyon condensation should deal with tachyonic fields as a sign of instabilities (note that its' tachyonic fields, not non-tachyonic!). Tachyon should deal with why the tachyon under modern interpretation should not be considered as a particle in the usual sense.

Now I was told by a friend, who goes by "The basement man" that the only way to survive the comubstion etc. of a tachyon particle would be throuhg means of black body radiation. Now, is black body radiation truly possible, or is it just another theory? hit me up at, thanks.

A tachyon might be a magnetic monopole. Many theoretical searches for magnetic monopoles have concluded they may not exist thanks to them breaking multiple physical laws (conservation of energy for one). It seems fashionable to attribute to tachyons anything proven to be

So the upshot, is that tachyons themselves are not signs of inconsistency, just instability. But if the instability is never tamed(if the field keeps growing exponentially) then it will become singular and then presumably inconsistent. Hope that helps.
3225:, then the abovementioned expression has a negative value and it has no square root in real numbers. So special relativity equations can not be deduced. Note that this problem is not solved by claiming that tachyons have zero mass or imaginary mass. 1973:

Yes, but only because we don't observe them, not because they're impossible. Also tachyons imply there would exist no stable lowest energy state vacuum -- again not impossible, but not observed. I'll add a few words to the article later today.
