Observations on the motion of a Tachyon

TL;DR

This paper explores the theoretical motion of tachyons, showing that at unbounded speeds, their observed behavior becomes direction-independent and challenges the physical meaning of negative quantities.

Contribution

It provides a novel analysis of tachyon motion, demonstrating that infinite speeds lead to a unified perception across inertial frames and questions the physical significance of negative numbers.

Findings

Unbounded tachyon speeds appear the same in all inertial frames.

The concept of negative infinity as a physical quantity is deemed meaningless.

At infinite speeds, tachyon behavior becomes direction-independent.

Abstract

Some aspects of the motion of a tachyon is discussed. It is shown that the inertial frame Sigma-Prime around which the tachyon switches the direction of its motion, does not observe any movement of the tachyon at all. Inertial frames on either side of Sigma-Prime observe the tachyon to be moving at very large speeds but in opposite direction. Sigma-Prime itself observes only a sudden appearance and immediate disappearance of a long rod like object. Thus unbounded speeds in either direction give the same result in the limit. This suggests that negative numbers as a physical quantity are not meaningful. Subtraction can be used integral to a formula but the final result has to be interpreted with a positive answer. This means the abstract quantity -infinity indicating an unbounded negative number is not meaningful. The situation is also compared with Tan (Pi/2)+ and Tan(Pi/2)-. The conclusion is that in the limit, travel at unbounded speed is direction independent and gives the connotation of many identities to the same particle.
