The universe may be dominated by particles that break causality and move faster than light, new paper suggests

[admin]

With the nature of the universe's two most elusive components up for debate, physicists have proposed a radical idea: Invisible particles called tachyons, which break causality and move faster than light, may dominate the cosmos.

Could it be possible that the tachyons needed to explain Dark Matter can be explained by Superluminal Nearfield Electromagnetic and or Gravitational fields!

It is now well known that Gravity and Electromagnetic fields propagate instantaneously in the nearfield and reduce to the speed of light in the farfield, after propagating about 1 wavelength from the source. Both theoretical and experimental evidence is presented and has been confirmed by many independent researchers over the past 20 years. This result is incompatible with Relativity theory and analysis shows that the Special Relativistic effects on time and space are an optical illusion. The same is true for General Relativity since it is based on Special Relativity. It is proposed that Galilean Relativity and Gravitoelectromagnetism theory of gravity are better theories for Relativity and Gravity, where time and space are absolute, and only the present exists. Since Gravitoelectromagnetism assumes gravity is a propagating field, it can be quantized (graviton), enabling the unification of Gravity and Quantum Mechanics. The Pilot Wave interpretation of Quantum Mechanics now becomes the preferred interpretation of Quantum Mechanics because it is completely compatible with Galilean Relativity, and instantaneous propagating fields.

Re: Tachyons almost certainly don't exist; going faster than light violates everything we know about the causal flow of time from past to future.

It's been my amateur understanding that Einstein's theory doesn't forbid faster than light travel, but rather states that objects with mass cannot be accelerated to the speed of light. Because in order to do so it would require an infinite amount of energy since mass moves off towards infinity as an object's speed approaches light speed. But if an object were somehow already moving at light speed it wouldn't be a violation. Am I wrong?

Non-causality is a feature, not a bug, in this theory. Causality-breaking is offensive to logic/philosophy buffs, but not to (many) theoretical physicists.

viXra.lol is the elephants' graveyard where theories that aren't even wrong go to die.

That can't be true because a particles motion is dependent to its mass-B and an invisible particle in a vacuum space would be transparent not invisible . Therefore because of its transparency , it would have less conservation ability of mass-B and actually be ''heavier'' than light because of it's mass-A .
Consider atmospheric gaseous mediums such as our atmosphere . The atmospheric particles are transparent , effectively invisible . These particles allow light to pass through but gravitational-B drag forces some of the light to curve around the particles . ( An advanced version of a Rayleigh Scattering) .
These particles are not great at conserving light (heat) but they are great at obstructing surface light from escaping when it is daytime .
The reason for this is because of incident thermal current and reflective thermal current creating a ''thermocline'' . Although the term thermocline is associated with water , the atmosphere isn't far dissimilar because it is also a medium .
Atmosphere rises/expands when there is sufficient light to give it enough mass-B to be affected more by gravity-B than gravity-A . When it exits the lower ''thermocline'' into a higher altitude , the mass-B is lost in space and mass-A regains hold and brings it back down to the lower ''thermocline'' .
It is possible a transparent particle could gain enough temporal mass-B to escape an atmosphere into space but the temporal conserved mass-B would soon be lost so it would be impossible for it to travel faster than light .
Additionally the faster a particle travels , the greater the gravitational frame drag .

Einstein famously referred to instantaneous communication between one-time linked quantum entities (Belle's Theorem, aka EPR Experiment) as "spooky action at a distance". He didn't believe it, since in his view nothing could travel faster than light, although at least some experts in the field don't consider the quantum entities to be actually "communicating".

That's an interesting take on it. The philosophers I hang out with are all aware that causality transcends materiality, and therefore time itself.

What brought me here was the suggestion that causality could be broken—a fascinating yet ultimately self-negating proposition (the ramblings of David Hume notwithstanding)—but come to find out we're just talking about confusing behaviors of temporo-spatial accidents...not "real" (metaphysical) causality.

Thanks for the response. However, I'm not sure I understand it, or see how it relates to what I wrote.

You are correct that tachyons, traveling faster than light, are compatible with the equations of Relativity. That isn't the problem.

The problem is causality. All our experimental data shows that the past controls the future, and the future never influences the past. Violations of causality would be immensely shocking. FTL particles like tachyons imply backwards-in-time causality. The fact that our universe does not seem to have backwards-in-time causality, strongly implies that tachyons don't exist. (It doesn't matter that they are compatible with Relativity equations.)
