Tachyon
A tachyon is a hypothetical subatomic particle that travels faster than light, not forbidden by quantum physics, and invoked in fringe physics contexts including some parapsychology research as a proposed mechanism for precognition.
A Tachyon is a hypothetical subatomic particle that travels faster than the speed of light. In theoretical physics, tachyons are not forbidden by quantum physics, and their existence has been explored as a potential explanation for phenomena that seem to defy conventional understanding.1
Hal Puthoff became interested in tachyons as a possible explanation for the unknown energy field or force that might be involved in Animate Physics and psi abilities. He hypothesized that if tachyons existed, they could provide a mechanism for instantaneous communication or influence, which could account for phenomena like ESP and Psychokinesis.1
