Faster-Than-Light Particle Fits With Special Theory of Relativity, Physicists Say
Tachyons are theoretical particles that travel faster than light. Einstein’s theory of relativity holds that the speed of light cannot be reached, only approached. New research argues that Tachyons and Einstein might not be incongruous after all. Via Gizmodo:
The new research also conjures up “a new kind of quantum entanglement” that mixes past and future, the university release stated, which does not exist in conventional particle theory. “The idea that the future can influence the present instead of the present determining the future is not new in physics,” said Andrzej Dragan, a physicist at the University of Warsaw and co-author of the paper, in the release. “However, until now, this type of view has at best been an unorthodox interpretation of certain quantum phenomena, and this time we were forced to this conclusion by the theory itself.”

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
