Simple question /sci/
If a tachyon cannot have v>c, can tachyons interact with bradyons at all?
What would happen if they collided?
Could the tachyon overcome the inverse light-speed-barrier and give its momentum to the bradyon, making it a tachyon, and the tachyon a bradyon?

Tachyons do not into interactions with regular matter, and probably don't into real either.

so how do we solve this?
If they exist you would think that they at some point will occupy the same spacetime as a sub-c particle, no?

Do they not exist in our spacetime?
Also, could we detect the gravity waves they surely must create? Or would they to travel at c+?

I see the connection.

there is some evidence for black holes. if you observe the stars near the center of the galaxy, they make rather sharp turns, so a very massive but invisible object has to be there.

Stop spamming, you have added nothing

[Anonymous No.2641510]

it was proved that if tachyons exist and if it could interact with "normal" mater it would produce additional tachyon noise making it impossible to know if the interaction actually took place or not.

no. I'm accusing you, all, to be spamming. If you want to fight over black holes, make your own thread.
However, since you're here, and, I assume, more knowledgeable then I am on this subject, what would happen if a subparticle with imaginary mass and v > c, like a tachyon, were to pass the event horizon of a gravity well such as a black hole. Would it be possible for it to escape?

What about superbradyons?

Superbradyons might be observable in particle accelerators eventually, since they are of real mass, but I wonder what energy levels we would need since we haven't even found Preons yet...

I wonder if superbradyons are to quantum physics what tachyons are to string theory.

Well apparently the next interesting energy level after the early TeV range would require a collider in the Pev or Eev ranges. I have no idea how large a collider would have to be for that to be possible with conventional technology.
