Particles That Travel Faster than Light?
Newton, Roger G.
Science, 167, 3925, 1569-1574, Mar '70
A discussion of the possible existence of tachyons, particles that travel faster than light, and their theoretical properties. Suggests that if tachyons were found, the consequences for relativity theory, quantum mechanics and the concept of casuality would be far-reaching. Concludes that the final answer rests with the experimentalist. Bibliography. (LC)
