Tachyon news ?

Alas JJ, it appears we remain Tachless on the forum. Perhaps the 31 will ship sooner than expected.
 
The Tachyon is just a figment of your imagination. Its the wool they pull over your eyes, the world produced to hide you from the truth.
 
Tachyons move faster than light, that's why they are so hard to photograph one.
Also, even if we had one in front of you, you couldn't see it.;)



=-> Sidenote <-=

Since Tachyons are faster than light, that means that they are always on the move. Suppose you were traveling on a paralell vector at the same velocity, and you looked down, Could you see it?

Or,

If you are traveling at 99.99999999999999999999% of light speed in your spiffy spaceship, and you turn on the headlights, or turn on the overhead light. What happens...
:D :cool:

Last time I tried, a little window opened up and said, "This program has executed an illegal instruction."

If it's anything like what happens when you're in an airplane, nothing out of the ordinary. Gravity will only applied to within the volume of the airplane, or spaceship, in this situation, as the forward accelaration of the airplane negates the gravitional pull of the Earth. That's why even at Concorde speeds, when you drop a fork, it still lands by your feet, and not 6 rows down.

OK, who opened the Q&A session for physics again?
 
There's an overhead light? When did they...I don't remember any light.
 
One of the "problems" of Einstein's theory and the issue which brought Black Matter into light (no pun intended) is light's inability to conform to any given set of physical regulations. Sometimes it behaves as a wave, sometimes as a partical, and sometimes as both or neither. The issue with speed is particularly baffling. If you measured the speed of light beamed from a stationary flashlight, and than measured the speed of light from the headlight of a speeding locomotive, the speed would be the same. Thus, since light is absolutely constant, if you were travelling at the speed of light time would not exist, and theoretically you could travel forward in time and than when you slow down travel backwards. This also suggests that time and empty space can "curve". So to answer your question as to what would happen if u were travelling at 99.999% etc. speed of light and turned your headlights on, nothing would happen. You would never "run into" a photon (an indefinable particle of light) and the light would not go any slower or faster. So Tony, yes if you drop a fork in a concord it will land at your feet, but a light turned on in a concord theoretically ignores any existing velocity vectors.


The significance of all this is that if we were travelling in a universe at the speed of light through a time warp where time and space exist in infinate parallel planes, we might have our Tachyons now!!!:D

As I said, nothing out of the ordinary.

Problem, if time and space traveled in an infinite parallel plane, there could be no time warp, as the two will never have points of interscetion. As for the Tachyon, even if we could accomplish what you've described, we're still talking about MT here. Even bending all known Newtonian and Einsteinian laws would not get them to put out a product on schedule. Something along the lines of a miracle as defined by the Catholic church would have better odds.

The best we can hope for is that Tony has finished a few pieces and has sent them to Mike under their original agreement, and that sometime next week, the first lucky few would let us know that he Tachyons have landed, while the rest of us oogle. And if my luck holds out, I would get the first lemon as well :D
 
The majority of the flight in the Concord is not under acceleration. The fork does not fall straight down, but it falls at the same speed as the plane is traveling, and since you are also traveling at that speed, it seems to drop straight down.

If you are in your Corvette tossing and catching a ball it will fall straight if you you are at a constant speed, but, if you toss the ball then floor it, it wont drop straight down, because it doesn't have the same momentum carrying it forward as you now do.

It's hard for any body to be not in acceleration if both I and the fork are "traveling at that speed". But hey, that's fresh stuff in your head, while it's old gray matter in mine.
 
Between Blade & Hogman....I'm convinced now that I have (2) perfectly matched Tachyons stashed in their new Kydex sheaths...., but I just can't see them due to the phenomena discussed :) !!

oh well, whatever....thought I would spout some stuff out to keep my brain working tonight since i havn't done any homework yet this week and I'm starting to forget everything again, haha
