Hunting the Faster than Light Tachyon, and Finding Three Unicorns and a Herd of Elephants

by Robert Ehrlich ...

In 1905, Albert Einstein declared speeds greater than light to be impossible. This book describes the author’s decades-long search for the hypothetical subatomic particles known as tachyons that violate this principle.This book is a scientific detective story. The crime is speeding—that is, the possible breaking of the cosmic speed limit, namely the speed of light, as stipulated by Einstein. This ... Read more
