Tachyon is the hypothetical faster-than-light particle. There is no observation about the existence of this thing. Some people say that tachyon cannot exist because faster-than-light particle violates natural laws. The fact is that there is a couple of interesting hypotheses. What tachyon could be?
Tachyons cannot jump to a speed that is higher than the speed of light and back to a speed that is lower than the speed of light. When we are thinking of the speed of light as the energy level their particle lost from sight we can say that we ever cannot make contact with tachyons. The speed of light is the event horizon. The point where the particle cannot return to the third dimension.
But proving the existence of tachyon is very difficult. There is the theory that tachyon cannot exist at speeds. That is the speed of light or lower than the speed of light. And when the speed of that hypothetical particle decreases. It turns into a photon. Or maybe that photon would be the shockwave that forms when the tachyon drops to the third dimension. And, immediately turn to the photon or Higgs boson.
1) Tachyons are particles with exotic shapes. That allows them to tunnel themselves through the quantum fields and other particles without losing energy. In some versions of this theory, tachyons are so fast that the interaction is so short-term, that it's impossible to observe.
2) Tachyons exist but they are not in our universe. The idea of this theory is that tachyons were the first particles that formed after the Big Bang. So there were no quantum fields that slow tachyons. And they couldn't transfer their energy anywhere.
So tachyons are traveling at the front of our universe. The idea is that the tachyon cloud exists. But it will become more and more distant from our universe. The idea is that tachyons exist but they are out of the universe.
3) Tachyons are particles whose energy load is so powerful that they are in the fourth dimension. The idea is that when tachyon travels at a speed that is higher than the speed of light. That thing means, that we cannot see that particle because it's a nano-size black hole.
When the tachyon slows its speed it will turn into a photon. So when the energy level of the tachyon turns so low, it can drop to our third dimension. It would not be tachyon anymore. That means it is impossible to see tachyon because its energy level is so high, that the objects in the third dimension cannot interact with tachyon.
But is tachyon existed? The answer is yes and no. There would be no interactions. Or no contact between regular particles and tachyons.
Existence is not the same word as interacting. There is the possibility that tachyons existed, but they cannot interact with the space where we are living. The universe is full of things that exist. But those things do not affect us. One of those things is the sun-type star that is over 3000 light years away from Earth. The thing is that this star exists but it has no effect on us.
Some researchers made some kind of theoretical research about the possibility to create things like tachyon engines. But the problem is that there is no evidence about existing of tachyons. The thing is that the tachyon remains a hypothetical particle until there is some evidence about that particle.
And then we must realize that even if we someday can prove the existence of tachyon. There is a possibility that tachyons would still mean nothing concrete to humans. Making hypothetical models of the tachyon engines or tachyon communication doesn't mean that those things ever turn into concrete applications.
