Is there a time of day or night at which nature's heaviest elementary particle stops obeying Einstein's rules? The answer to that question, as bizarre as it seems, could tell scientists something very ...

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 its existence more plausible. Tachyons are a ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A illustration shows a quantum experiment investigating gravity on a tiny scale. Scientists have determined a way to measure ...

A straightforward math tweak could bring tachyon fields into line with the rest of physics. Tachyons are faster-than-light particles, and tachyon fields are special cases of quantum field. The math ...

The idea of a particle that races faster than light has long fascinated physicists. Known as the tachyon, it was originally dreamed up to help untangle paradoxes in quantum theory and relativity.

The concept of the tachyon, a theoretical particle that travels faster than light, has fascinated physicists and sparked ...

This describes the relationship between a particle’s energy (E) and mass (m), with the speed of light (c) squared. According to Einstein’s theory of special relativity, nothing that has any mass can ...

Here’s what you’ll learn in this story: Time might actually have 3 dimensions. But it also means that the space would actually be one-dimensional, instead of the three dimensions we’re familiar with.
