Recent news about neutrinos slightly breaking the speed of light. Wondering if it were possible that an unknown tachyon particle existing 'momentarily' therby beating the speed of light, then becoming a neutrino as it 'collapses', becoming a neturino, could explain the phenomena? Yeah I know no tachyon has ever been detected or proven to exist.
