Yakov Terletsky was the chairman of theoretical physics at Moscow University and a winner of the Laureate of the State Prize in the Soviet Union. He was working on hypotheses involving a subatomic particle called a Tachyon, which is proposed to be superluminal, or faster-than-light1.
His work, along with that of Gerald Feinberg, attracted the attention of Hal Puthoff, who was interested in whether the tachyon flow could account for an "extra field" or force that physics couldn't yet see, potentially explaining ESP and other anomalous mental phenomena1.
