How can something travel faster if it’s losing energy?
“How can something travel faster if it’s losing energy?”
“One curious effect is that, unlike ordinary particles, the speed of a tachyon increases as its energy decreases. In particular, E is zero when v is infinity. (For ordinary bradyonic matter, E increases with increasing speed, becoming arbitrarily large as v approaches c, the speed of light). Therefore, just as baryons are forbidden to break the light-speed barrier, so too are tachyons forbidden from slowing down to below c, because infinite energy is required to reach the barrier from either above or below.”
