SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the theoretical implications of tachyons and their adherence to transformation relations similar to those in special relativity. Participants argue that while tachyons are posited to have velocities exceeding the speed of light, this leads to complexities in their mass and charge relationships. A key point raised is that tachyons require additional energy to decelerate, reinforcing the notion that they cannot transition to light speed (C) as per the constraints of special relativity.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of special relativity principles
  • Familiarity with tachyon theory
  • Basic knowledge of particle physics
  • Concept of energy-mass equivalence
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the properties of tachyons in theoretical physics
  • Study the implications of superluminal particles on causality
  • Explore the concept of energy requirements for particle deceleration
  • Investigate the mathematical framework of transformation relations in special relativity
USEFUL FOR

The discussion is beneficial for theoretical physicists, students of advanced physics, and anyone interested in the implications of superluminal particles and their relationship with established physical laws.

if tachyons existes, does they obey the transfomation relations similary to the relations of special relativity?
that we see in discussitions about tachyons , usually relations are same by a difference in compelexility of mass and charge .
but the velocity in denominator is same, here the velocity is big than light and no other limits be suposed. now if the velocity go to infinity the relations break downs because of infinity.

I think that the velocity must be cyclic. that means that tachyons infinity velocity is equivalence to our zero velocity bye invertion in time.

what do you think?

excuse me because of my weak english language.

i wait for yours answers.

If I understand your question correctly, you are correct. Tachyons actually need additional energy to decelerate. For the same reason Special Relativity doesn't allow us to accelerate particles to C, a tachyons cannot decelerate to C.
