AI overview
A tachyon is a hypothetical particle that would travel faster than light, but physicists believe such particles cannot actually exist because they contradict the established laws of physics. If tachyons did exist, they could theoretically enable faster-than-light communication and time travel, which would create logical paradoxes that violate the principle of causality.
