Do tachyons really break Einstein’s law?

In theory, tachyons are particles that always travel faster than light.
If they exist, they would challenge one of Einstein’s deepest insights:
⚡ Nothing with mass can exceed the speed of light (c).

That’s the fascination — a hypothetical particle that seems to slip through the ultimate boundary.

🔹 What People Think / The Surprise

The common claim: “If tachyons exist, Einstein was wrong.”
But the truth is subtler.
Rather than overthrowing relativity, tachyons expose its edge cases.
They raise the question: what happens to causality, delay, and coherence if signals arrive before their cause?

🔹 The Science

• Tachyons first appeared in physics equations in the 1960s.
• They would have imaginary mass and could never slow down below the speed of light.
• If real, they could make effects appear before causes, collapsing the normal arrow of time.
• No experimental evidence has ever confirmed their existence.

🔹 The CI Lens (from “Intelligence is Equal To?”)

Our Conscious Intelligence equation also depends on delay and coherence.

If tachyon-like signals existed:

• Distortion (D): would spike — cause and effect blur into contradictions.
• Temporal Coherence Θ(t): collapses — memory and foresight lose alignment.
• Expectation Gap: becomes infinite — the received signal arrives before expectation can form.

👉 Intelligence itself would break down, because intelligence requires resistance and delay to stay coherent.

🔹 The Provocative QuestionSo maybe tachyons don’t defeat Einstein at all.
Instead, they whisper a deeper law:
✨ Without delay, there is no intelligence — no observation, no awareness.
